"The album contains all the elements that I enjoy about WHITESNAKE," WHITESNAKE frontman David Coverdale told Billboard.com. "The responses I've been getting are that the album is a heady cocktail that embraces the whole history of WHITESNAKE within one album. Which was not planned, but fortunately, I'll drink two of those cocktails!"
