“Some people tell me, the blues ain’t bad”
Any time I write about David Coverdale and Whitesnake I’m tempted to throw in a few knob gags. But I’m not going to because All In The Name Of Love is a heartfelt, serious Cov effort with The Gov feeling the post-Tawny blues and singing about it in soulful fashion. The woman troubles bring out the Free/Bad Company in his voice, which is where he’s at his best, especially when he lets loose on the wonderful bridge and closing choruses. Although it’s a bit smooth and MOR in production, I reckon this would have fit nicely on old beergut-era Whitesnake albums like Trouble and Lovehunter. It’s got a warm sound with a lovely bluesy guitar solo and a big throbbing organ underneath.

Completely agree with everything you say (short of the no Cov Knob Gags!!). This song would have easily fit on any early Snake album. A great throwback.

Awesome song. Still have not played the remixed album. Don’t tell us about David’s throbbing organ.

I’ve played it once. Just keep going back to the original instead.

That’s a disappointing forecast for how much I’ll play it.

Yeah, it’s more that I only listen to remixes if I know the original album well enough to compare the differences. I’ve been enjoying rediscovering the original so I’m just sticking with that for now.
