JAKARTA - Legendary hard rock band Whitesnake celebrates the influence of blues music that helped inspire their musical careers with a new compilation album. Titled The Blues Album, this album features remixed and remastered versions of the best blues-rock songs from David Coverdala et al.

The Blues Album is the third and final release in Whitesnake's Red, White And Blues trilogy. This is a series of compilation albums mapped based on musical themes. Starting last year with Love Songs (red) and The Rock Album (white).

The Blues Album is already available for pre-order, and will be available on February 19 digitally and on CD and as a double album set printed on 180 gram blue vinyl. Like The Rock Album and Love Songs, all the tracks on The Blues Album have undergone a retouch from the sound system side.

Whitesnake singer and songwriter David Coverdale said the music in this album reflects how blues artists such as Muddy Waters, Howlin 'Wolf, and the three Kings (Albert, BB and Freddie) inspired it massively and elegantly.

In the album notes, he wrote: "It's hard to find words to show how deeply they are connected to my soul. But 'blues' to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expressions ... feelings, be they feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness. … But also one that expresses joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and great love !!! "

This new compilation features a very strong mix of old and new hits. From songs released in 1984 to 2011 from Whitesanke's six studio albums and Coverdale's solo album, Into The Light.

The Blues Album features two of the band's biggest songs, namely Slow An 'Easy, the 1984 Top 20 Mainstream Rock hit from their double-platinum album Slide It In, and a remix version of the smash guitar-based song Give Me All Your Love. from their 1987 self-titled album which was certified multi platinum.
