Info for Love Hunter

For all of its musical merits, Whitesnake's second full-length album, Love Hunter, is probably best remembered for its lurid cover painting (featuring a very naked female and a very large snake) rather than the band's ever-improving recipe for blues-infected hard rock.

The group's performance in the studio environment remains strangely tame, however, and though blaming the producer seems like the obvious explanation, one has to wonder if this is the case when a veteran like Martin Birch (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) is at the helm. Still, all things considered, the record is quite consistent; the band is equally at home rocking through the foot-stomping 'Long Way From Home,' and gliding through the bluesy ballad 'Help Me Thro' the Day.' 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues' combines near-perfect songwriting with one of Coverdale's maturest and most compelling lyrics, while the masterful slide guitar of Mickey Moody literally ignites the awesome title track. The gorgeously simple piano treatment of 'We Wish You Well' closes the disc in fine fashion.“ (Eduardo Rivadavia)
