Whitesnake - Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City (2025 Remaster)

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, an' that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,
'Cos you ain't around.

Το τραγούδι "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" αποτελεί μία rhythm and blues μουσική σύνθεση του 1974, δημιουργίας του Michael "Harvey" Price και του Dan Walsh. Το πρωτακούσαμε στον δίσκο των Bobby Bland "Dreamer" που κυκλοφόρησε το ίδιο έτος.

Στους (ευρύτερους) rock κύκλους έγινε γνωστό λόγω της διασκευής των Whitesnake. Αποτέλεσε μέρος του ep "Snakebite" (που "βγήκε" το καλοκαίρι του 1978, το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι της δεύτερης πλευράς του βινυλίου) και του live album "Live... in the Heart of the City" (το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 1980).

Το εν λόγω μουσικό κομμάτι αποτελεί και μέρος της νέας συλλογής των Whitesnake υπό τον τίτλο "Access All Areas: Live", η οποία κυκλοφορεί ήδη (από τις 25 Απριλίου 2025). Αποτελείται από οκτώ CDs και (σύμφωνα με το δελτίο τύπου) περιλαμβάνει:

«Six live shows across 8 CDs, ACCESS ALL AREAS: LIVE captures the raw excitement of Whitesnake in full flight, live on stage. Kicking off with LIVE... IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, legendary rock singer David Coverdale is joined by Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach on lead guitar, long time Whitesnake drummer Tommy Aldridge plus Marco Mendoza on bass.

Recorded at London's iconic Hammersmith Apollo in 2004, the set includes the huge MTV hits "Is This Love," "Here I Go Again" and "Still Of The Night." LIVE... IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES on CD2 and CD3 was recorded on their 2006 World Tour, and delves back to Whitesnake's earliest days with "Don’t Break My Heart Again" and "Take Me With You".

MADE IN JAPAN finds the band headlining the huge Loud Park festival in Japan in 2011, across CDs 3 & 4. MADE IN BRITAIN unsurprisingly captures the band on David's home turf whilst on the Forevermore tour in 2011. THE WORLD TOUR was also captured in 2011 on the Forevermore tour, features hits such as "The Deeper The Love," as well as newer stage favorite, "Can You Hear The Wind Blow".

This 8 disc set ends right back where David musical odyssey started, with THE PURPLE TOUR LIVE. Now joined by lead guitarist Joel Hoekstra, Whitesnake power through songs from the earliest days of David’s career with Deep Purple, including "Burn," "The Gypsy," "Mistreated" and "Soldier Of Fortune".»
