#Whitesnake 's latest album "Flesh & Blood" is slowly slithering to its release date and quite a few things to be excited about can be divined from its trail.

First of all, it's been eight years since Whitesnake's last studio album that featured original material, as the band's previous one, 2015's "The Purple Album", focused on covers of Deep Purple songs from the Coverdale era. Furthermore, "Flesh & Blood" can also be considered a milestone in the development of Whitesnake's sound since the band's latest axeman, Joel Hoekstra, also took part in the songwriting process.

Previously of Night Ranger, Joel Hoekstra joined Whitesnake in late 2014, just in time for the making of "The Purple Album". Being a veteran guitarist, he is also known for playing with #Cher as well as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Many Whitesnake and TSO fans will know Joel for being the talented musician that he is, and on "Flesh & Blood", we will also have the chance to hear not only his mastery of the instrument, but what he brings to the table when writing music is concerned.

In light of this, #UltimateGuitar set out on a mission to pick Joel's brain about the making of "Flesh & Blood", his career as a musician and more, and he was gracious enough to answer all of my questions in a quick interview.
