Whitesnake celebrates the blues sound that helped inspire its multiplatinum career on a new collection that features remixed and remastered versions of the groups best bluesrock songs. The Blues Album is the third and final release in the bands Red, White and Blues Trilogy, a series of compilations organised by musical themes that began earlier in 2020 with Love Songs red and The Rock Album white. The new compilation delivers a potent mix of hits and deep tracks that originally appeared between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums and Coverdales solo album, Into the Light.

In the albums liner notes, he writes Its hard to find the words to show how profoundly they connected with my soul.
