Over the past 3 day weekend I was succumbed to a classic rock station and heard an old standby Deep Purple song. This lead me to re-examine their early catalog.
Deep Purple’s most popular albums are defined by the “hits”…..Deep Purple In Rock (“Speed King”, “Child in Time”) and of course the gargantuan Machine Head (“Highway Star”, “Maybe I’m a Leo”, “Space Truckin”, “Smoke On The Water”).
However, sandwiched in between those albums is the seemingly forgotten album Fireball. The title track alone is worth the price of admission with its crazed organ solo and hard driving drumming….most of the rest of the album follows suit, bringing THE ROCK & ROLL!
Crank it up.
