Media type: CD

INTO THE LIGHT is based on David Coverdale's three solo records. The INTO THE LIGHT album was originally released as David Coverdale’s 3rd solo album, in September 2000, and was his first solo record in 22 years. Here it's been remixed with extra tracks and presented as a Whitesnake album. With an impressive musical lineup, David is joined on INTO THE LIGHT by guitarists Earl Slick and Doug Bossi, bassist Marco Mendoza, who would later join Whitesnake, legendary drummer Denny Carmassi, who as well as Whitesnake, has played with Montrose and Heart, and Mike Finningan on keyboards, who had previously played with Jimi Hendrix in the 1960s. As well as plenty of unreleased songs and bonus tracks, the set includes “Too Many Tears,” a song David wrote with Adrian Vandenberg and originally featured on Whitesnake’s RESTLESS HEART album. Also included is “River Song,” David’s tribute to Jimi Hendrix, and “With All Of My Heart,” a song David wrote for his wife, and in his own words, one of top ten songs that he’s written. INTO THE LIGHT also features the singles “Slave,” “Love Is Blind” and “Don’t You Cry.” The box set also includes David’s first two solo records, whitesnake MCMLXXVII from 1977 and NORTHWINDS from 1978, the two titles he recorded immediately after leaving Deep Purple in 1976, in both remixed, expanded and remastered form.
