Title: Deep Purple gets funky!
Product review: "Stormbringer" presents a new, funk & soul sound for Deep Purple. It's like The Doobie Brothers meets Steppenwolf, but if that's what you like it's a great album.There's a lot of use of gospel/soul back-up singers and funky organ music, akin to Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious".The standout tracks are:-"Stormbringer": The most straight ahead rocker on the album.-"Holy Man": A slower verse that kicks into an upbeat chorus.-"Lady Double Dealer": Heavy on the organ with a pulsing guitar riff.-"You Can't Do It Right": Very, Doobie-esque, gospel/rock sound.-"Soldier of Fortune": Slow ballad about a lonely wanderer.5 out of 9 tracks? That's not bad. It's definitely not the way to get to know Deep Purple, but it's good snapshot of the 1970's funk/rock sound.
