I always enjoyed the bluesy 1970ies Whitesnake …

he - along Mickey Moody - is quite prominently featured on “Live - In the heart of the City” LP

Wow, bummer. Their album “Slide It In” was always a guilty (dirty??) pleasure of mine. I was hoping they would do a seniors tour so I could rock out with other former hair farmers, I guess that’s out now. I’m gonna raise a glass and listen to [Slow an’ Easy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5-MDjPkqqU) at 11!
