Album Details
2006 Digitally Remastered Edition of the Group's 1979 Release. In October 1979, with Britain Still Reeling from the Aftershock of the Punk Rock Explosion, David Coverdale Rubbed Salt Into Safety-pin-inflicted Wounds by Giving Whitesnake's Second Album the Provocative Title of 'lovehunter'. It was Less a Case of Never Mind the Bollocks, More of Feel the Sheer Size of Those Damn Danglin' Things! at the Time, Coverdale Had Been Attracting the Attention of Certain Po-faced Elements of the British Music Press, who Didn't Approve of his (Or his Band's) So-called 'sexist' Stance. These Days, It's Difficult to See What the Fuss was all About. Back in the Late 1970s, to the Casual Observer Whitesnake were Purely Plying their Trade as a Mega-musicianly, Super-soulful, Mean-lovin' Blues Band. Meanwhile, Coverdale Himself was Gaining Generous Plaudits Among the Rock Cognoscenti.

Customer Reviews

Hunt This Down
Another in the long line of great Whitesnake albums. Some great ballads, rockers, and some blues. Speaks to the range of the band and Coverdale. These cds are getting rarer by the day. So the cost will go up and the hunt for this one will be on. Get it if you see it.

Good Hard Rock album with a little blues in it
I'll never forget the first time I saw this album at a local record store and I saw the album cover, I was hooked on getting the album and I wish that this album wasn't so hard to find, the album opens with 'Long Way From Home' (not to be confused with Foreigner's version) and it's a good way to start the album, Walking Through the Shadow of the Blues is also a beautiful song with sensitive vocals and lyrics, Help Me Thro' the Day is one of the most beautiful ballad's that I've ever heard and it sure beats the heck out of Is This Love, Medicine Man is a good rocker with great lyrics, You and Me and Mean Business are what I consider it being the weakest songs but it's far from bad and I'll gladly take it over the best stuff of today's music, Love Hunter is my favorite song on the album and I'm surprised that it wasn't a hit in America, Outlaw is something that reminds me of a lesser known song off of Foreigner's debut album but I take that as a good thing, Rock 'N' Roll Women isn't one of the album's better efforts either and the album ends with a 1 and a half minute song called We Wish You Well.

Although I'm only a casual fan of Whitesnake but I think that this is a really good album, although it does have its weak spots but the good songs easily make up for it and this album deserves a well earned 4 stars.

A solid slice of bluesy rock n' roll
"Lovehunter" opens with the groovy blues-rock of "Long Way From Home", and the classic, swaggering "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues" - perhaps David Coverdale's best composition, and certainly one of his best and most mature lyrics.

Other highlights include the foot-stomping "Rock 'N' Roll Women", which is precisely as clichéd as it sounds, and the supremely funky title track, which features some fiery slide guitar from Mickey Moody. And "You 'N' Me" is a pretty solid rocker as well.

There are too many mediocre songs for "Lovehunter" to be a great album, but it's still a pretty good one. A fine purchase for fans of Whitesnake's earlier material...and good enough for some 3½ stars.
