The Granddaddies of Heavy Metal Rock Celebrate their 35th Year with this Fresh 2003 Lineup. The Players Include Longtime Members Ian Paice, Roger Glover and Ian Gillan, Been-there-awhile Guitarist Steve Morse and Don Airey, who Joins in the Wake of Jon Lord's Departure for Greener Classical Pastures. Airey's Cv Includes Stints with Rainbow, Gary Moore and Ozzy Osbourne and it was Quite Logical to Turn to Him to Fill Lord's Shoes. The Songs Here Are Characteristic of the Purple Tradition with Yet Another Fresh Infusion of Energy and their Seeming Perennial Vitality. While Each Member is a Solo Artist in his Own Right, Collectively the Magic is Something Very Special and Crucial to Rock N Roll. Already an Audience Favorite, the Song "Haunted" features Backing Vocals by Beth Hart and a String Arrangement by Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, David Bowie, Nilsson, Lloyd Cole and Many More).
