And not only do we have great Coverdale/Hoekstra and Coverdale/Beach songs, but we have the three of us combining.

"The songs are f---ing excellent," he added. "We have 18 or 19 extraordinarily positive, potent, juicy classic Whitesnake songs from balls-to-the-wall to blues, to epics to ballads. It's kick-ass. It's definitely got me fluffed up." here.
