Tom Russell with David Coverdale (1989)
Episode 1 – David Coverdale Our journey begins in London in 1989. At the EMI offices at Manchester Square, legendary Scottish rock DJ, Tom Russell sat down with one of rock's most charismatic frontmen, David Coverdale of Whitesnake. The band was riding high on the success of their multimillion-selling album, "1987," and their follow-up, "Slip of the Tongue," and Coverdale was in full flight, charming, cheeky, and generous. This wasn’t your typical press junket interview. This was classic Coverdale, talking music, band members, The Glasgow Apollo, fame, the British press, and sharing a few off-the-cuff stories that couldn’t possibly be repeated in polite company. In this debut episode, we dust off the original tape, let it roll, and react in real time. Tom shares memories of the meet up, we offer a few reflections of our own, and together, we invite you into a moment in rock history that feels as fresh now as it did then. It’s the perfect way to kick off Access All Areas, a podcast built on a love of music. So turn it up. Let’s go backstage.
