72 STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY

Whitesnake

By the time Whitesnake recorded 2011’s Forevermore David Coverdale might not have been hitting all the high notes he once nailed with gusto, but his voice was still on splendid form, and his band had the flair to bring the best out of rock’s most exuberantly lascivious frontman. Steal Your Heart Away was a case in point. Brash, muscular and yet still infused with that bluesy oomph that the band somehow lost around the time of 1989’s Slip Of The Tongue, it was the perfect combination of Whitesnake’s much-revered pre-poodle era and the strutting bravado of the chart-ruling LA years.
