Coverdale guests with Delta Deep

David Coverdale appears on the latest track released by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen’s blues band, Delta Deep.

The Whitesnake frontman recorded guest vocalist for Private Number, which appears on the outfit’s self-titled album.

The Def Lep man lines up beside vocalist Debbi Blackwell-Cook, drummer Forrest Robinson and Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo.

Collen says: “Blues was created out of something completely different from what we hear today. I grew up listening to rock music – but then I found out it was all based on blues. Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, all of those guys, they got it from the blues.”

Delta Deep is released on June 22 via Mailboat Records, also featuring guest appearances by Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott, and Collen’s ManRaze colleagues Paul Cook and Simon Laffy.

Whitesnake launched The Purple Album last month while Leppard are preparing to release their self-titled 11th record later this year. The bands tour the British isles together in December:

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
