Bio:
Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968.They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock,although their musical approach changed over the years.Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band's sound shifted to hard rock in 1970. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-Seventies".They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre,and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide,including 8 million certified units in the US.The band has gone through many line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–1984). The 1968–1976 line-ups are commonly labelled Mark I, II, III and IV.Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (organ), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973, and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again from 1992 to 1993. The band achieved more modest success in the intervening periods between 1968 and 1969 with the line-up including Rod Evans (vocals) and Nick Simper (bass, backing vocals), between 1974 and 1976 (Tommy Bolin replacing Blackmore in 1975) with the line-up including David Coverdale (vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals), and between 1989 and 1992 with the line-up including Joe Lynn Turner (vocals). The band's line-up (currently featuring Ian Gillan, and guitarist Steve Morse from 1994) has been much more stable in recent years, although organist Jon Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 (being succeeded by Don Airey) left Ian Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme and a British radio station Planet Rock poll ranked them 5th among the "most influential bands ever".At the 2011 Classic Rock Awards in London, they received the Innovator Award.In October 2012, Deep Purple were nominated for the first time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but were not voted in the following March. In October 2013, the band was announced as a Hall of Fame nominee for a second time.On 26 February 2013, the title of the band's new album was announced as Now What?!, which was recorded and mixed in Nashville, Tennessee.
Album:
With strong tailwind from last year's chart leading album "Whoosh!", DEEP PURPLE surprises with new album "TURNING TO CRIME" and new single "7 And 7 Is".The new album, released by earMUSIC, will reach the worldwide community of Deep Purple loyal fans only 15 months after Deep Purple‘s latest studio album "Whoosh!", an album saluted by prestigious chart achievements (3rd consecutive #1 in Germany, as well as well as #4 in the UK) and acclaimed by critics who praised the creative strength of a band that continues evolving with every release.“Turning to Crime” is the first studio album by Deep Purple entirely made of songs not written by the band and previously recorded by other artists.The "time trilogy", consisting of "NOW What?!", "inFinite" and "Whoosh!" (2013, 2017 and 2020) have sold over 1 million albums, topped the charts 11 times and achieved more than 40 Top 10 positions worldwide.Producer and friend Bob Ezrin, who worked with Deep Purple on the previous albums forming the “trilogy", was once again an important part of the new studio work.It's hard to believe, and easy to forget, that Deep Purple were once defined by cover songs. In fact, the group's first four singles came from the catalogs of others - Joe South, Neil Diamond, Ike & Tina Turner and the Beatles - rather than the hands of the Purple gang.That changed in fairly short order and certainly by the time the Mark II lineup with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover formed in 1969. From In Rock onward, they left the notion of covers in the rearview mirror - on the outside and knocking at the back door, if you will. And that makes Turning to Crime a bit of a shock.The 12-track set is an all-covers album and not necessarily songs you'd expect to hear Deep Purple handle. Coming just 18 months after 2020's Whoosh! it's Purple's quickest turnaround since the mid-'70s, spearheaded by producer Bob Ezrin as a pandemic-busting alternative to the quintet's usual creative process of in-studio jamming. That Purple can sound authentic playing just about anything isn't necessarily the novelty here; it's what the group chose to cover that raises eyebrows.It's an understatement to say that selections such as Huey "Piano" Smith's "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu," Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken," Louis Jordan's brassy "Let the Good Times Roll," Bob Dylan's "Watching the River Flow" or Jimmy Driftwood's "The Battle of New Orleans" seem out of the box. But these surprises are surprisingly convincing. Guitarist Steve Morse gets to employ some different playing techniques, Don Airey rolls out a little barrelhouse piano on some of the tracks and drummer Ian Paice sounds assured in the different rhythmic approaches. Gillan, meanwhile, can sing just about anything, so his voice winds up being the best ambassador for this unlikely fare.Turning to Crime has plenty of heavy, too, with an array of flavors such as the blazing psychedelics of Love's "7 and 7 Is" and the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things," or the garage-y romp of Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels' "Jenny Take a Ride!" Cream's "White Room" is totally in the Purple wheelhouse, and the group tears through Bob Seger's "Lucifer," a particularly astute deep dig, like it's something off of Fireball. The closing "Caught in the Act," meanwhile, fuses together bits of five '60s favorites - Jeff Beck Group's "Going Down," Booker T. & the M.G.'s "Green Onions," the Allman Brothers Band's "Hot 'Lanta," Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" and the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" - into a mostly instrumental medley that shows why Mark VIII is one of the group’s best lineups and more potent than most of its Purple predecessors.
