(Review from allmusic, wikipedia)

After Deep Purple crumbled in the mid-'70s, vocalist David Coverdale began a solo career with 1977's White Snake. Before too long, Coverdale would use the album title (as well as guitarist Micky Moody) for his future band, first known as "David Coverdale's Whitesnake" and soon afterwards as just Whitesnake.

The album is a very inward looking, reflective and low-key affair in many ways, written and recorded as it was in the aftermath of the collapse of Deep Purple. Coverdale is clearly flummoxed regarding the direction the music should take. There are some blues-rock numbers that benefit from Coverdale's rich, throaty vocals and Moody's reliable guitar parts. They would later settle on this style for Whitesnake. However, much of the album shows Coverdale's love of R&B and soul. Remember that it was this route that Deep Purple took, particularly on 1974's Stormbringer.

"Lady" manages to blend R&B and hard rock elements effectively thanks to Moody's slithering guitar and the punchy horns. The smoldering "Blindman" is probably the best song because of its blues-rock purity; it actually sounds like a blend of Free, Bad Company, and, ultimately, future Whitesnake. "Goldies Place" is a blue-eyed stab at R&B and funk. "Whitesnake" is a guilty pleasure rocker; the sexual symbolism surpasses mere double entendre, but it's not quite hardcore porn. "Peace Lovin' Man" goes so far as to approach gospel-influenced soul. "Hole in the Sky" is a smooth, dreamy ballad.
