WHITESNAKE’s Video For ‘The Gypsy’ From ‘The Purple Album’

WHITESNAKE has released a video for “The Gypsy”, a song from the band’s twelfth studio album, “The Purple Album”, released in May via Frontiers Music Srl. The clip contains footage from WHITESNAKE’s “The Purple Tour”, which kicked off in the U.S. several days after the CD’s release.

“The Purple Album” is billed as “a re-imagination of classic songs from David Coverdale’s time as the lead singer for DEEP PURPLE’s Mark III and Mark IV studio albums.” PURPLE classics revamped for the new set include “Stormbringer”, “Lady Double Dealer”, “Soldier Of Fortune” and “Sail Away”. Coverdale was DEEP PURPLE’s frontman from late 1973 to early 1976 and sang on the albums “Burn”, “Stormbringer” and “Come Taste The Band”.

Coverdale explained that shortly before DEEP PURPLE co-founder Jon Lord’s 2012 death, he was eyeing a DEEP PURPLE gig featuring all the band members throughout the lineups. The Pulse Of Radio asked Coverdale what if any relationship he has with the frontman he replaced — the great Ian Gillan. “Ian was one of the nicest blokes I met,” he said. “I’d flown over to [England to] do a charity show for Roger Glover at the [Royal] Albert Hall — a thing called ‘Butterfly Ball’ [in 1975] — and Ian was there and we ended up carousing for, like, four days and nights. I ended up sleeping from the moment the plane took off from Heathrow back to Los Angeles. Woke up as we landed. The perfect journey! [Laughs] But, yeah, I have absolutely no problem sharing a microphone with Ian. None. Y’know? To me, it would be the ultimate expression of gratitude to breathtaking loyalty from PURPLE fans. It’s amazing. It truly is.”

The deluxe edition of “The Purple Album” features two bonus tracks, four music videos and a “Behind The Scenes” featurette on the recording of the album.

WHITESNAKE’s new touring lineup — David Coverdale (vocals), Joel Hoekstra (guitar), Reb Beach (guitar), Michael Devin (bass), Tommy Aldridge (drums) and Michele Luppi (keyboards) — made its live debut on May 28 at Northern Quest Casino in Airway Heights, Washington.
