New Whitesnake CD (with Joel Hoekstra) is a Deep Purple covers album

I don't expect much from these guys at this point, but this is an album of Deep Purple remakes of songs from the three albums that Coverdale sang on. Not blown away by the first track. I love Purple (much more than Whitesnake actually) but would rather both bands do their own material.

This is the first video from the release:

And looks like they are doing the casino/theater circuit this spring/summer:
