Come an Get It (Audio CD),30 June, 1998
List price $15.99
The original Whitesnake lineup's least distinctive effort / 3
"Come An' Get It" is not a bad record. It's just not particularly good.
It does have its moments - "Don't Break My Heart Again" is a fine, catchy rocker, "Would I Lie To You" gets a really good groove going, and the piano-driven barroom boogie of "Wine, Women And Song" is good fun. And I can see why someone would want to listen to the acoustic ballad "Till The Day I Die" more than once.
But the rest is indistinctive...hard to fault, perhaps, but even harder to praise. Singer and band-owner David Coverdale's own interest in the group seems to have been slipping around this time, and "Come An' Get It" shows it.
"Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" shows potential but doesn't quite live up to its initial promise. "Hot Stuff" plods along like third-rate Deep Purple. "Child Of Babylon" tries to be epic and can't quite pull it off, and the remaining songs are simply mediocre, run-of-the mill rock songs without the hooks that made "Ready An' Willing", "Saints & Sinners" and "Slide It In" such fun and enjoyable records. Again, these aren't bad songs, they just lack that certain something. And I'm afraid that no amount of condescending comments will change that. Can't you just focus on your own review, Mr zzzshopper, instead of picking on mine?
Anyway. Fans of the original Whitesnake lineup, before the hair metal days, will want a listen, but this often generic record is not the place to start if you're new to the band. There are a couple of gems here, but it's not one that I listen to from beginning to end, and there is a reason why almost none of the songs from "Come An' Get It" ever popped up in Whitesnake's live sets. Compared to the two inspired albums that followed it, "Come An' Get It" struggles with an abiding sense of indifference.
Three very small stars.
Song "Girl"
I have never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' make me shake my tail for you.
I know the game you're playing
When you're turning all your tricks.
It's written on your face
You just want your business fixed.
No, I don't need a crystal ball
To see what's in your mind.
If I don't give you what you want
You treat me so unkind,
But if I'm good and give you love
You throw me down a bone,
But if I'm bad you make me sad
An' leave my love alone.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl, girl.
Pretty little crazy white girl.
I know, baby, you ain't fooling
With all your high class schooling,
You want everything your own way.
If I could, I would
Do every little thing a good man should,
Baby, I'd really give it to you
Every day.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl.
Mean mistreater,
There ain't no one to beat you,
But you treat me so bad.
I've never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' still I shake my tail for you.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl.
Girl, girl.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, she treat me so bad.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, come on baby.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
I love the way you make me...
Girl.
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl.
Pretty little crazy white girl...
