Many will know Bernie Marsden for being a founder member of Whitesnake, one of the biggest rock bands of all time, and writing the iconic global smash, "Here I Go Again".Since leaving Whitesnake almost 40 years ago, Bernie has forged an impressive solo career.

Rewind to Summer 2018… Bernie was invited to join Billy Gibbons on stage, when he said "Bernie, wouldn't it be great if we could all record the songs we grew up with as we learned to play the guitar?" Rather than suffer the usual fate of great ideas that are left to litter the dressing room floor, Bernie immediately set about making a list, and the "Inspirations" Series was born. KINGS" is the first album of Bernie Marsden’s "Inspirations".
Featuring 10 songs that were originally recorded by Albert, B.B. & Freddie King, and recorded in a studio in Oxfordshire with a band that just locked into a groove, "KINGS" is chock full of blues and soul.
