Is This Love: Whitesnake Remix Romantic Tracks For 'Love Songs' Collection

September 18, 2020 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Whitesnake Love Songs

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Continuing a series of compilations that kicked off earlier this year, Whitesnake will release a new collection, Love Songs, through Rhino on November 6.

Love Songs is the middle act in the British rock group's "Red, White and Blues" trilogy that kicked off with The Rock Album back in June. (The closer, The Blues Album, will hit stores next year.) Like that collection, Love Songs is centered on a theme - romance, as you could guess from the title - and like The Rock Album, every track on here has been "revisited, remixed and remastered." The lead single is a new mix of "Is This Love," the Top 10 hit from 1987's international breakthrough Whitesnake, which you can hear below.

That self-titled album, which Rhino boxed up in a super deluxe set in 2017, is the chronological starting point for the set, with the album's 15 tracks spanning from then to 2011's Forevermore. There are also three tracks from frontman David Coverdale's solo album Into The Light (2000) - plus, for the first time anywhere, three previously unreleased tracks from the sessions to that release.

"As most of you know, pretty much all the songs I write are love songs in some way, shape or form," Coverdale said in a statement. "These are some of my favorites. Not all are ballads. Some are out and out rockers with powerful romantic themes...and of course...include heavy breathing in all of them!!"

Love Songs will be available on CD and 2LP, 180-gram red vinyl on November 6. Get your copy below and check out the track list.

His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Is This Love doesn't sound a whole lot different. The lead vocal seems a bit drier and they've added in some guitar harmonics in the background etc. I think I still prefer the original.
