Evenin' friends! The Meista here with another rockin' craft beer and music pairing for you tonight... and this is one of the best I've done as of late in my opinion (on many levels)... Deep Purple's "Burn" and a Tinder Rauchbier Smoked Lager from Uinta Brewing Company! HELL YEAH!!
One of the most important albums in my collection, "Burn" is the 8th studio album by English hard rock act Deep Purple (DP) and was released on February 15th, 1974. It was also the first DP album to feature the wonderful David Coverdale on lead vocals and the fantastic Glenn Hughes on bass and lead/backing vocals. The remainder of the band was of course made up by the founding members: the amazing Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, the late, great, utterly brilliant Jon Lord on piano/Hammond organ/synthesizers, and the incomprehensibly talented Ian Paice on drums. Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, in November of 1973 with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, "Burn" found the band exploring different sounds and approaches musically. Along with their hard rock and heavy blues focus, DP incorporated both soul and funk (an influence of Hughes' musical tastes), giving "Burn" a more boogie oriented flavor. The album starts off with the fist-pumping, high-octane rocker, title track "Burn" and doesn't slow down until the fade-out of ""A" 200"! I cannot express in words how much I love and adore this album... it blows my mind with every listen and includes one of my all-time favorite songs ever by any musician, the wonderfully bluesy "Mistreated"! This is what rock and roll is all about my friends!! Just check out this fucking brilliant track list!!
- "Burn"
- "Might Just Take Your Life"
- "Lay Down, Stay Down"
- "Sail Away"
- "You Fool No One"
- "What's Goin' On Here"
- "Mistreated"
- "'A' 200"
Prost!!
