Sail Away: Whitesnake's Fantastic Voyage

The first ever full length biography of Whitesnake â€“ written by one of rockâ€™s most prolific writers.

Top music writer Martin Popoff tells the tale of rock legend David Coverdale from his Deep Purple roots, to the two distinct incarnations of his á½”ber-creation.

Whitesnake began life as a UK based blues rock outfit, until the lad from Englandâ€™s chilly east coast upped sticks to Americaâ€™s sunny west coast in search of fame, fortune, big videos and even bigger hair. He found them all, and 1987â€™s self-titled album went platinum eight times in the US alone, before their bright star waned in the face of dowdy grunge.

In his 45th book, Martin has interviewed 30 major characters â€“ including Coverdale â€“ to piece together the bandâ€™s convoluted history. He traces the hirings and firings, the splits and reunions, the image changes which evolved over time enabling Coverdale and co. to stay ahead of the pack for over five decades.

If youâ€™ve rocked out to anthems such as â€œHere I Go Againâ€, â€œFool For Your Lovingâ€, â€œStill Of The Nightâ€, or The Heart Of The Cityâ€, youâ€™ll want to read about the man and the band that created them.
