"Here To Go Again" is two albums live of the Company Of Snake. If you don't know this band you must know that they are survivors of the most important and influential line-up of the defunct British Heavy Rock band, Whitesnake. With Micky Moody [Guitar], Bernie Mardsen [Guitar] and Neil Murray [Bass] but without the charismatic singer David Coverdale.

This double album live is a really good one. The most important thing for a Live album is probably the quality of the sound, personally if I have a cd who is not very audible, without a good ambience and with musicians who give the feeling that they are not happy to play for the fans, well I just think it's better to buy the studio album. But no problem here, the sound is very good and for the ambience I could just say that this Live was recorded in 2000 in Oslo and at the Wacken Open Air. The crowd is very present and the musicians are also very good.
With 20 tracks, classics of Withesnake ["Here I Go Again", "Lovehunter", "Sweet Talker"?], songs of Rainbow ["Since You've Been Gone"], and a handful of new songs, this live album could delight a lot of Hard Rock lovers. Well this is not Coverdale who sings but the Swedish Stefan Bergen is also very good and this guy is the perfect frontman for the band.
With approximately two hours of show this album is a must for fans of the Withenake and also fans of Hard Rock.
Then it's true sometime the music could be a little boring for guys who are not into 80's and 90's Hard Rock but the general quality of the compositions is good and I'm sure that a lot of nostalgic will be dazzle by this double Live Album.

At the end I will recommend this 2x cd to all the fans of Withesnake you will enchanted by it. For the others you can try it but this is very "soft" Hard Rock then you know what you will have with this production, but if you like Blues Rock I think that there won't be any problems?
