New Patron/Patron Upgrades:

• Sarah Sanders joins us at the $5 “Money Lender” Tier
  • I started listening to Deep Purple a couple of months after discovering Rainbow from a recommendation while listening to a certain Kelly Clarkson song.
  • I started slow and didn’t really catch onto anything until watching the video of their live performance of No No No from a German broadcast the Beat Club. After watching that video I think everything fell into place and I’ve been listening ever since.
  • I discovered the show pretty early on to listening to Purple which has been a few years from now. I saw a lot of DPP posts on various social media platforms and I thought it was cool how extensive the show went into various branches of the DP family tree. Started listening only recently, but I regret not tuning in sooner, great podcast, can’t wait for future episodes!
• Joe “Dopefish” Siegler joins at the $3 “Nobody’s Perfect” Tier
  • Greetings and Felicitations. I should be somewhat known – if you do, it’s probably cuz I run the Black Sabbath site over at www.black-sabbath.com. #KeepItWarmRat Finally caved in and signed up as a Patreon member. I wanted in on those ranking episodes.

Patron Updates:

• Weston-super-Mare Pilgrim writes in:
  • Hi Nate & John, I just listened to episode 100 of the DPP on Perfect Strangers. It might have been long resolved by other listeners since, but you are discussing a melody Ritchie plays at the end of his solo in Under the gun. What I have always understood it to be, is a excerpt out of Land of hope and glory. This British anthem was also played at the beginning of Rainbow concerts in the early 80s, before the Over the Rainbow theme. Best regards, WSM Pilgrim

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reception and Charts:

• released by EMI on 25 September 2000 in the UK and by Dragonshed on 21 November in the US.
• Peaked at #5 in the UK rock and metal charts.
• In an interview with Classic Rock magazine in 2000, Coverdale stated: “The whole premise of my new record, Into The Light, is about coming out of what I felt was a dark period. […] I didn’t really know who I was, using the illusion of David Coverdale I’ve created, or that other people have. I got tired of trying to live up to that, which is not necessarily who I am.”^[3] Despite Restless Heart being released under the Whitesnake name, Coverdale considers it and Into the Light “brother and sister albums”.^[4]
• There were several songs written for these sessions that were later released on the 2020 compilation “Love Songs.” These included the tracks, Yours for the Asking, With All of My Heart, and Let’s Talk It Over.  The first track was written about his wife, while the last was written after a four-day “misunderstanding” between the two.  Coverdale hoped to record Let’s Talk It Over with Tina Turner.
• The song Flesh & Blood was also written for this album but did not see release until the album by the same name was released in 2019.
• A supporting tour for the album never happened.  Coveredale said the cost of touring as an individual solo artist was too high.
• Coverdale started working on a follow up solo album but stopped in 2002 and re-formed Whitesnake.

  • 3/5
  • Into the Light Review by Alex Henderson
  • In 2000, David Coverdale was officially a full-time solo artist, but it wasn’t like the former Whitesnake and Deep Purple vocalist had never recorded an album by himself — his first solo project, Northwinds, came out in the late ’70s. Although not groundbreaking, 2000’s Into the Light is a decent solo effort that should please those who admire his ’70s and ’80s output. In fact, this isn’t a radical departure from the British singer’s work with Whitesnake and Deep Purple. Instead of attempting to be relevant to the alternate rock scene of 2000, Coverdale sticks with the type of commercial hard rock, arena rock, and power ballads that he is best known for. And even though the songs (all of which he wrote or co-wrote) aren’t quite in a class with his best Purple and Whitesnake offerings, they are enjoyable; Coverdale’s die-hard fans will find that he is as confident and assured on bluesy rockers like “Cry for Love” and “River Song” as he is on the power ballad “Don’t You Cry.” Into the Light often sounds like it could have been recorded in the 1970s or 1980s instead of 2000, which is just as well — Coverdale aficionados won’t find innovation on this CD, but they will find that the singer is still quite capable of holding their attention.

  •  INTO THE LIGHT David Coverdale (dragonshead) Mister Whitesnake is back, kicking butt and taking names.
  • Had a bugger of a time getting this; special-ordered this U.S. import and waited forever a small price to bask in its greatness. Coverdale sings instead of the hysterical screaming he’s known for, the songs are more believable than the hair band tripe he peddled for much of the ’80s. “Into The Light” is a refinement of what he does so well. He’s always been a great voice but now treats his gifts and craft with respect.
  • “Light” sticks close to the blues-based rock that is his forte and the quiet stuff feels on the mark, not mawkish radio swill. He throttles back and still delivers but if it’s top speed highway screamers you need, David doesn’t disappoint. Kudos too to an excellent backing band that features Denny Carmassi (ex-Heart, on drums, bassist Marco Mendoza (currently with Ted Nugent) and guitarist Earl Slick. This is an excellent album, one of the year’s best your only chance to likely catch an earful is to place your order and wait patiently, for several months if need be, as I did.

Lead up to the Album:

• In late 1999 and early 2000 there had been rumors that David Coverdale was being considered to replace Gary Cherone in Van Halen. David Coverdale said it was possible as he had been approached to replace initially when Sammy Hagar left.
• Rumors also began circulating that Coverdale was working on a solo project.  These turned out to be true.
• Coverdale mentioned that the name of the album was literal in that he felt he was coming out of a dark period and trying to rediscover who he was.
• Coverdale rented a house near to his own which they used for writing and rehearsing the songs on the album. He said this was one of the most prolific writing periods in his life.
• They submitted over twenty songs for the album and ended up letting the producers choose the songs that would go on the album.
• They spent three months at a studio in L.A. and three more at Coverdale’s home studio in Lake Tahoe.  According to Coverdale he had missed out on so much of his daughter growing up that he wanted to stay close to his wife and son so that he didn’t miss as much this time around.
• This is the first album that Coverdale recorded completely digitally using Pro Tools. He had long railed against digital recording because it lacked the “warmth” of analog but after being exposed to this way of recording he considered himself a “digital convert.”  He is quoted as saying that there is “really no difference” between the sound of digital and analog recording.
• In interviews Coverdale said that he felt this music was “more honest” and that he didn’t have to suit his songwriting to a particular band. He was able to use whatever musicians he want that would best suit the tracks at hand.

New Patron/Patron Upgrades:

• $1 Silly Made Up Name Tier
• Jellybean
• Hi Nate, thanks for the message. I’ll go by “Jellybean”, my nickname when I discovered the band.
• That would have been 1971, when I was 11. Was visiting the kids next door, a couple years older than me, they were playing this wild music – Purples eponymous third album. Hooked! That organ – you didn’t hear that sort of thing on the single radio station in our small rural town. I was learning organ at the time and wondered why I couldn’t make such sounds!  
• They dubbed me a copy and ai played it so much I wrecked it. So went and bought a real copy. Saw a bunch of other Purple cassettes there and a few weeks later went and got their new release “Burn”. So good. Still my favourite Purple album. 
• I remember telling another neighbour “Deep Purple are releasing a new album today – Stormbringer”. Off I go to the music shop again. I didn’t have a lot of cash, so I bought very few cassettes in those days. It would have taken months to save up for one.
• Sometime after that, I was listening to music with my cousin, he says what do you think of this song… wow, oh wow. Didn’t know the song but at all but knew it was Ritchie playing. Was told it was something called Black Night. So I went from Mark I to Mark Iii &IV and not heard Mark II at all. Back to the music store, pick up a cassette called “24 carat purple”. A Mark II compilation. Floored all over again. 
• Eventually I get a bit of a job and a record player, start buying the back catalog on vinyl, the older stuff. Went in reverse order – Who Do You Think We Are, then Machine, Fireball, In Rock, thinking these guys are getting better!
• Favourite band then and still now over 40 years later. And Burn is still the best. 
• I got to see the band only once, their 1984 comeback tour. Dec 4th in Melbourne. So loud, so amazing. 
• Then I lost track of the band, moving around the country for work and life stuff. Thanks to the podcast which I’ve been listening to this year, I’ve listened and learned about the extended family. Thanks heaps to you Nate and John for the shop. Glad to be a supporter. 
• Cheers, Jellybean.

The Cicadas Are Here!

• https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/05/17/2024-cicada-emergence-chicago-illinois/
• They’re loud, but they’re harmless. And some people even like to eat them.
• Cicadas are beginning to emerge from the ground around Chicagoland and Illinois. Two broods will converge on the state in a historic emergence. They belong to Brood XIX, four species that appear every 13 years in the Southeast, and Brood XIII, three species that appear every 17 years in northern Illinois.
• It will be the first time in 221 years that these two specific broods come above ground at the same time and in such proximity. The last time this happened was in 1803 when Thomas Jefferson was president, and Illinois had yet to become a state.

Reception and Charts:

• https://www.glennhughes.com/discography.html
  • “Recorded in Tokyo in the Summer Of 1994. A brilliant concert, my band played incredibly, the audience was fantastic. I felt my Creator present while singing Still In Love With You on this live recording. It was one of those nights that was like a dream. The crowd gave me tremendous energy. My fans are my songs, they are my lifeblood. Turn this one up really loud!”
• Message from Glenn Hughes:
• Here’s the most relevant part of the latest message from Glenn, from 21. December 1994:
• To all Deep Purple Fans
• I would like to thank all of you, who purchased the Mark III and Mark IV albums which I performed on.
• I am currently writing and in production for my next studio album to be released in the early summer of 95. My live album (currently on import) Burning in Japan [sic] will be out in the New Year. Six Purple songs are performed here to great satisfactory performances.
• You must remember that Purple asked me to join to add a new dimension to the sound, which I did. I have the greatest respect for Ian and Roger. But David and myself are different writers, performers and singers. I wish all the Purple family the very best, and to you all Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Bustin’ Out The Spreadsheet

Reviews

• Nick Simper’s Fandango: Future Times Shark / lnterford 148.506: Germany: 1980. My German is not very good (well, non-existant really), but there does seem to be second album out by Simper’s current band. As the first LP (‘Slipstreaming’, reviewed some time ago) was poorly received, we thought the band had just fizzled out, but it looks as if they might have gone to ground in Europe to earn a living. I expect some import copies will surface here for those of you dedicated or curious enough to want it. It’s unlikely that Gull records will want to issue it here. There are nine titles listed:1/ Pull Out & Start Again, I’ll Never Get Over-You, Get Down Lay Down, She Was My Friend. 2/ Future Times, Undercover Man, Something’s Burning, Hard Drink & Easy Women. Jeez, the titles alone are enough to put me off it!
