Deep Purple - Hush

[umbertino]

 

Written by American composer and musician Joe South for recording artist Billy Joe Royal

 

Track recorded 1968 by  first DP lineup :

 

• Rod Evans – lead vocals
• Ritchie Blackmore – guitar
• Jon Lord (RIP) – organ, backing vocals
• Nick Simper – bass, backing vocals
• Ian Paice – drums

 

Later Rod Evans would be replaced by Ian Gillan and  Nick Simper by Roger Glover and that will be the steady and classic DP lineup for many years and many albums before changing again.....

All next songs are performed by the classic / epic somehow DP lineup ( Deep Purple In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, Made In Japan-live, Who Do We Think We Are albums...Probably I forgot some.... )

 

 

• Ritchie Blackmore – guitar
• Jon Lord (RIP) – keyboards, organ
• Ian Paice – drums, percussion
• Ian Gillan – lead vocals
• Roger Glover – bass

 

 

 

 

 

This lineup then crumbled after a few years mainly because there was a bad fight  going on for quite some time between vocalist Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore ( acknowledged by many as a great guitarist but also known for being crazy like a horse)  They had gotten to the point of beating each other up in a few occasions........Usually started by Blackmore

Loving this one...

 

Awesome drum work by Ian Paice (called "little Ian" in order to not confuse him with vocalist Gillan)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Their best album to me is "Deep Purple In Rock"  1970 ( which I spinnned here countless times)
