Northwinds
Northwinds is the second solo album by former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, released by Purple and EMI on 10 March 1978. In Japan, it was released through Purple's japanese distributor, Polydor. It was produced by former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover as his second and last appearance producing Coverdale's solo albums prior to the year. Guitarist Micky Moody had contributed to the majority of the album around that time before Coverdale formed Whitesnake on that same year, officially carrying Moody as a band member until 1983.
The album received a reissue as a part of a compilation album White Snake/Northwinds in 1988, following a standalone release in 2000 by Eagle Rock Entertainment and Spitfire, and released again as part of a double compilation album now titled as The Early Days in 2003. Northwinds received a reissue in 2024 following its appearance in Into the Light: The Solo Albums boxset, containing all of Coverdale's solo works via Rhino Entertainment under the Whitesnake name.
