5.0 out of 5 stars WHITE-ZEPPELIN, December 28, 1999

This review is from: Coverdale & Page (Audio CD)

The collaboration of Led-Zepster Jimmy Page and Whitesnake voice David Coverdale was a good idea. The album resutled in terrific songs both lyrically and musically, for both artists. Page hasn't played that kind of guitar since Led Zep's House album and Coverdale's voice has never sounded better(he can't help it sounding like Plant). The lyrics are strong and deep, and the music is powerful. Rockers such as Shake My Tree, Waiting On You, Pride and Joy, and Feeling Hot offer a fresh blast of Page's guitar, who still can rock. On the lighter side, this album offers up some incredible slow-bluesier rockers such as Take Me For A Little While and Over Now, both of which are fantastic. Other great songs include Take A Look at Yourself and Absolution Blues. All-in-all this album is a classic, it's overlooked by some fans of both Coverdale and Page, and was ripped apart by alot of critics. Actually this is some of the best the two have ever done, and with every listen it gets better and better, and you wish these two guys could have done more together.

This is just a really nice cd. If you are open minded,you will find a lot of great things in this world. If you close it up,you'll let the critics indoctrinate your whole life. No comparison to Zep or snake here. This is what you get if you mix the talents of David Coverdale & Jimmy Page.Period. Even Paul Rogers says"If the FIRM did'nt work out,at least the rest of my life I can tell people I was in a band with Jimmy Page." How many critics can say that? All through this cd you can hear Jimmy interweave his guitar parts into something magical. Davids voice sounds shot in a few places. But he is his own man,And doesn't need to copy any one. He already proved that on the Deep Purple album BURN. All songs are different in nature. My faverite though is Absolution Blues. Came out the same year as Plants cd, Fate Of Nations,They are both the real McCoy in the world of rock&roll.The only comparason you can find here is they were two of the best cds to come out in 1993.(not a great year for most.LOL.) I was looking forward to seeing this tour also but never got the chance. This is a one time only cd project. If you want to compare it with Snake or Zep. Go ahead! But rememmber in the early seventys. Anybody who played guitar with any kind of testical fortatude was criticized as being a Hendrix clone. So you probly never heard of Marino or Trower. This is a very original cd. makes a great x-mas gift. THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't use your head, September 16, 2002

This review is from: Coverdale & Page (Audio CD)

Coverdale sounds like Plant... blah blah blah. Man, if there's one guy who could have pulled these vocals, it's Coverdale. By this point, Plant had resigned himself to hippie coffee shop dookie and this album calls for lungs of hell! Enter Coverdale, yes a man who has taken a giant bite out of Plant's ass for the majority of his career but name one other person that can ape a style this well while and still, in my opion, cut his own cloth. This album is PURE ROCK. There's songs for drinking with the bros (if you can get them to shut up about how this album "sucks"), songs to shut your woman up, songs to smoke cigarettes by yourself late at night to, etc. This album has been completely overlooked simply because of the names attached. Just get it, go out to a rock show parking lot, open up all your car doors, throw some burgers on the mini-grill, crack a beer, smoke and turn people on to this great epic of a ninties rock release. I can bet you that it'll be better than whatever concert you're going to in this new decade. And yes, it is better than some of the later Zep albums. Don't hate me.
