Burn - Deep Purple

Deep Purple Mk III's masterpiece, Burn. When people think of Deep Purple, they tend to think of Ian Gillan and "Smoke on the Water". However, there's some other music without Ian, and this is the best of that lot.

Burn is a fabulous album, and due to the influences of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, has a slightly "funkier" sound than the early 70's Gillan output. But don't overlook it. Burn (the song) is one of the all time best single Deep Purple songs ever. Mistreated is also a great song - so much so, that Ritchie also played this a lot with Rainbow. But this album is one you shouldn't overlook when looking for hard rock and an album in the Deep Purple / Black Sabbath family of bands/albums.

Note: I bought this album from iTunes, I don't have a physical CD for this.
