The official music video for the 2024 remixed version of “Wherever You May Go” from David Coverdale, the powerful voice behind WHITESNAKE and former DEEP PURPLE frontman, can be seen below.
The 2024 remixed version of “Wherever You May Go” is taken from “Into The Light: The Solo Albums”, the upcoming collection featuring remixed, remastered and revisited versions of Coverdale‘s solo albums “WhiteSnake” (1977),“NorthWinds” (1978) and “Into The Light” (2000).
“Into The Light: The Solo Albums” will be available from Rhino.com on October 25 as a six-CD boxed set. It comes packaged in a hardcover box featuring a 60-page book with rare photos, detailed liner notes, and a new interview with Coverdale. The newly remixed version of “Into The Light” will also be available separately as a double vinyl album presented in a gatefold sleeve. Additionally, the newly remixed version of “Midnight Blue” is available digitally today.
The upcoming boxed set features two versions of Coverdale‘s solo albums: one newly remixed to deliver a more dynamic sonic experience and a second remastered from the original recordings for those who want to revisit the classic sound. The remixed versions feature significant updates (particularly to “WhiteSnake” and “NorthWinds”) and utilize cutting-edge audio separation software. The track “Time & Again” from “NorthWinds” benefited from innovative voice extraction technology, allowing for new string and piano arrangements that Coverdale has envisioned for decades.
Coverdale shares: “The remixes are modern, using new technology to squeeze the best out of them… Truly exciting to revisit and take care of any technical ‘issues’ I had with the tracks all those years ago.”
“Into The Light”, Coverdale‘s third solo album, boasts an impressive musical lineup that includes guitarists Earl Slick (DAVID BOWIE) and Doug Bossi, bassist Marco Mendoza (who later joined WHITESNAKE),legendary drummer Denny Carmassi (MONTROSE, WHITESNAKE),and keyboardist Mike Finningan (JIMI HENDRIX). The remixed version of the album expands the original with songs like “Let’s Talk It Over” and “All The Time In The World”. The collection also offers additional remixes, demos, and outtakes from the album, including “With All Of My Heart”. Coverdale wrote the song for his wife and considers it one of the best he’s ever written.
The set also revisits “NorthWinds” and “WhiteSnake”, Coverdale‘s first two solo albums recorded immediately after leaving DEEP PURPLE. Both albums have been reimagined and re-sequenced for the upcoming collection. “NorthWinds” includes some new arrangements and additional tracks like “Sweet Mistreater” and “Shame The Devil, Tell The Truth”, breathing new life into this classic. “WhiteSnake” features impossible remixes thanks to A.I. sound separation softwares, courtesy of technology that has only been available in the last couple of years.
The collection also unearths several unreleased demos from Coverdale‘s archives, including songs destined for future WHITESNAKE albums. “Lay Your Love On Me” would later appear as “Lay Down Your Love” on 2008’s “Good To Be Bad”, while “Crazy ‘Bout Cha” evolved into “Whipping Boy Blues” on 2011’s “Forevermore”. The set even goes back to 1968 with demos Coverdale recorded as a teenager, including an early version of “Sunny Days”, a track that would appear on his solo debut, “WhiteSnake”.
While Coverdale originally released these albums as a solo artist, he now considers them WHITESNAKE albums. He says: “As I’m recognized as ‘Mr. Whitesnake,’ I thought, Why not? They’re all WHITESNAKE albums to me…we’ve remixed them to stand proudly alongside any WHITESNAKE album.”
