Undoubtedly Coverdale's Best Work Ever

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2002

Verified Purchase

David Coverdale is my favorite vocalist from the last 15 years, so this may be a bit biased. I loved Coverdale in Deep Purple, and have followed all his musical efforts to date. In this album, he stretches his voice to evoke the range of emotions that first attracted me to his singing. The tracks on this album show his absolutely perfect voice for the style of singing he loves best. What it is exactly - a bit of soul, rock, blues and maybe a tinge of gospel even - i can't say for sure. I have bought this album for three of my friends, who all have different tastes (jazz, easy listening and industrial) of which none were very interested in his Whitesnake work. All it took was one listening and they were hooked. This album is beautifully produced, and crafted with all the quality and knowledge of one of the greatest singers ever. Its got somthing for everyone one it, no matter your preference of music. Every single person who has ever listened to a couple tracks from this album (including my parents - who i also bought it for) has come away impressed with it.

I'm Already Pleasantly Surprised

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2008

I just now got this (along with Coverdale's North Winds and Restless Heart CDs), so this entire album hasn't sunk in yet. But to me, the epic "River Song" by itself is worth the price of admission. It is--quite simply--a masterpiece of soulful hard rock.
And unlike some other reviewers, I think the closing "Wherever You May Go" is a delicate, life-affirming success.

Production-wise, I would say that this CD is crystal-clear and pleasant, as opposed to the harsh compression used on Whitesnake's latest (2008), Good To Be Bad.

Awsome CD by Coverdale and Company

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2006

Verified Purchase

I own 2 of these CD'S and I have to say it's one of the most phenominal CD'S that I have ever heard.. David Coverdale has a beautiful voice to begin with, with Deep Purple and Whitesnake.. This solo CD has put David Coverdale way over the top.. My favourite song on the CD is "LOVE IS BLIND".. The acoustic guitars that represent most of the CD is Unbelievable.. Doug Bossi and Earl Slick as well as the rest of the band have put their heart and soul into this..If you are a huge Whitesnake fan buy this CD or purchase 2 copies like I have.. It is a "MUST HAVE" !!!!! ROCK ON !!!!!

I was really hoping this would be more bluesish. I think the Coverdale/Page album is one of the most underrated albums ever, it had a great sound & his voice and lyrics were very blues. I would LOVE an all blues, blues/rock, album from David Coverdale.....unfortunately this was not it.

Coverdale's return ranks up there with his finest albums

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2001

Into The Light is just the album many have been waiting for, the return of one of rock's finest singers, whose career in America has suffered the past ten years owing to the decline of the genre in general. Here he puts out an album with a wonderful array of styles, the diversity of which has not been seen since his late '70s solo albums. If one only knows him from late '80s Whitesnake, be prepared for a surprise. Track by track:
1. Into the Light--a brief, moody instrumental which leads the listener into believing this will be just a metal album. Coverdale plays guitar on this track!
2. River Song--a great tune for fans of Hendrix/Trower-style guitar (Coverdale even mentions the "Bridge of Sighs.") If there are any complaints, it is that it meanders a bit, but the singer is in top voice.
3. She Give Me--this one sounds like a mixture of many different Coverdale/Page songs, especially "Pride and Joy" and "Feelin' Hot." The beginning sounds like some old blues 78 record! A lot of good fun.
4. Don't You Cry--a wonderful, almost Motown soulish ballad. The slide guitar motif gets into your veins instantly.
5. Love Is Blind--my personal favorite tune on the album at the moment, an acoustic ballad with straightforward lyrics about learning to love again. This one deserves a lot of airplay but of course will not get it.
6. Slave--somewhat like Coverdale/Page meets Whitesnake, this one is slow and hard.
7. Cry For Love--an uptempo, Rolling Stones tune with great harmonica playing and good Coverdale harmonies. The feel is loose and casual but rocking.
8. Living On Love--the most Zeppelin like track on the album, one which many '80s fans may like. The vocals are strong, matching the guitar riffs pound for pound.
9. Midnight Blue--a piano/acoustic ballad, slightly more uptempo than "Love Is Blind." Another melody hook that gets under your skin.
10. Too Many Tears--this one is much more stripped down and moody than its original appearance. Perhaps the finest vocal performance on the album, Coverdale explores the lower ranges of his voice and comes up with an eerie winner. Another "should be a hit."
11. Don't Lie To Me--the hardest rocker on the album, the one that late '80s fans will hear and say, "There's the David 'I' know!" The pre-chorus "Where were you when I needed you..." seems to inject a harmelodic sophistication not usually seen in the emotional/feel-oriented style of Coverdale, yet more proof that he is one of the most underrated singers of all time.
12. Wherever You May Go--the last song is a gentle ballad, one which the singer shares with a female singer, their duet reminding me a bit of Eric Clapton's work with Yvonne Eliman in the mid-70s. The lyrics end the album on a note of hope.
In summary, those who like only one era of Coverdale's career (Purple, early solo albums, early Whitesnake, later "glam"-era Whitesnake, or Coverdale/Page) may not find every song to their liking, but those who have followed his career since the beginning will most likely rate it one of the best--if not the best--release of 2000.

Back to his roots...and he's still got a great voice

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2005

This album sounds a lot like Coverdale's pre-Whitesnake solo efforts, and like early Whitesnake, but with a more modern sound. In fact, it sounds similar to the final Whitesnake album, "Restless Heart", which...sounds a lot like Coverdale's early solo work and early Whitesnake. For those who did not like Whitesnake's turn to glam in the late '80's, this album is a welcome return to Coverdale's roots.

Speaking of "Restless Heart", this album contains another version of "Too Many Tears", which was originally released on that album. Coverdale prefers this version. There are some great tracks here, including "River Song", "Love Is Blind", and album closer "Wherever You May Go". The album also *sounds* great -- very good production.

Highly recommended for fans of David Coverdale and early Whitesnake.

Here is a Album for yer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a lost little gem criminally lost and discarded at the time in fact along with "Ready and'Willing"and post Deep Purple this is David's best work.
Not to be confused with Whitesnake this is a solo album with guest musicians, ex Bowie guitarist the superb Earl slick with some fine playing.
David's voice is brilliant he returns to the low rich tenor voice almost baritone he is famed for, which he had started to return to on his previous album Restless Heart, a Whitesnake album in name only pressure from record company had force him to add the name.
"Love is blind","Too Many Tears"are great songs and last song "Wherever You May Go "is quite beautiful and incredibly haunting with a female voice weaving in the mix with David's, it is without a doubt up there with "Soldier of Fortune,""mistreated","Blindman", as one of his best songs.
There is no weak tracks on the album,it is such a shame EMI did not promote this properly instead of wasting money on trying to break people like Robbie Williams in the States 40 million pounds reputably which did not work,Coverdale was all ready known in the states!
Coverdale is a very influential singer I only ever wanted to sing because of him, many famous artist's"Chris Cornell"for one owe him a debt and have said so.
If like me you like Coverdale's voice bluesy instead of that high pitch singing he did in the middle late 80s which did not suit his voice this album is for you.
I would like to hear David do some stuff off this album with Whitesnake Doug Aldrich could really add something with his guitar and stuff EMI!
Get it you will not regret it.

Light On Up!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

Ok, so going by some reviews I was thinking maybe this isn't the best whitesnake album I'm going to hear... But, then I think to myself, if I bought a David Gilmour album would I expect to hear Floyd? Probably! But history has proved that not to be the case! So David Coverdale has shaken off the snake for an album, and gone back to his bluesy ballad roots! With the occasional rocker! Come on guys! He's tied his hair back and got a couple of pals together and recorded a fine solo album with some great songs. I think its brilliant.

SUPERB ALBUM BY COVERDALE, FANTASTIC

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

i wish David Coverdale would release more albums like this, i am a Whitesnake fan, but the last two albums with Whitesnake have been okayish nothing amazing, this is like the stuff he did with Jimmy Page on the Coverdale/Page album, Into the light is a under-rated album, which is a shame, because its a cd you can go back to again and again, i would recommend this, come on David ditch Whitesnake and do what you do best, amazing vocals, great music, go solo and bring another solo album.

This album is really good. Ok, its lighter in arrangment than a typical whitesnake album,but then it is a solo effort. I avoided buying this due to earlier reviews. I wish i'd got it a long time ago.
