Do you like Deep Purple MK III and MK IV? Does the sexuality and power of Coverdale's voice make you tremble? Are you an incorrigible classicist who does not want to move away from orthodox rock styles? You're in the right place! An album-transition from David's solo to Whitesnake. It seems he really believes in the power of his lyrics and the hard blues-rock he is performing. It sounds sincere and fresh, even in those compositions where cliché is on cliché and clichés chase clichés. It seems to me, even in the late 70s, such songs were already secondary. But Moody and Marsden's gentle guitar flourishes and Murray's enveloping bass do their job and completely correct the situation. Although it must be noted that Snakebite cannot be called a full-fledged album — it is the Snakebite EP on the first side of the record and part of the songs from Coverdale's solo album Northwinds on the second, but this fact of compilation does not change the essence. The disc can safely be counted as a full-fledged longplay — cohesive and filled with hits. Snakebite is a strong milestone of the Deep Purple family, combining the melody of DP and the future energetic blues-hard of David, I recommend it to everyone who still lives in those times and to those who are tired of worn-out classics.
