Saints & Sinners, Whitesnake's fifth studio album, came out in 1982, and it's the sound of a band cracking at the seams while still swinging hard. It was the last record by the lineup that made Ready an' Willing: David Coverdale out front, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody on guitars, Jon Lord on keyboards, Neil Murray on bass and Ian Paice on drums. Relations had soured, over where the music should go and over the management, and even the producer's chair changed hands, with Guy Bidmead starting the job before Martin Birch, who had produced every Whitesnake record so far, came back to finish it.
None of that shows in the grooves. This is bluesy, strutting British hard rock, Coverdale leering his way through songs of love and lust. It went top ten and gold at home, and it holds the first "Here I Go Again", a song the band would cut again in 1987 and ride to a whole new life.
