Purple helped create the very ideas of hard rock and metal in the 1970s and, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and are often considered part of the “unholy trinity” of British rock. Their impact on rock music has been so immense that it’s tough to imagine where we’d be without them. Turning To Crime is Deep Purple’s 22nd studio effort and continues a body of work few bands will ever equal. The group made the best of the bad situation we all woke up in with the pandemic and proved they can still deliver the goods on any song they feel like playing. Purple recorded the songs remotely due to Covid restrictions but the set’s vibe is overwhelmingly live and roof-raising.
It’s really quite a diverse list that includes selections from Love, early Fleetwood Mac, Little Feat, Cream, The Yardbirds, and Johnny Horton, among others.
Bob Ezrin (Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd) produced the songs the group reinvented in their own image. The record comes out November 26th, 2021 on earMUSIC and marks the first time DP has put out music that was written outside of the band. Full-tilt rock legends Deep Purple show the world how they spent their Covid lockdown time with a new all-covers album called Turning To Crime.
