It is very fitting that Re-Machined, a Deep Purple tribute album that was released in 2012 and boasts covers by everyone from The Flaming Lips to Metallica, opens with a rendition of a song that is probably the bands most well-known hit single, Smoke On The Water. And even though it is played by a surprising pairing of Carlos Santana and Jacoby Shaddix (of Papa Roach fame), it is nevertheless a pretty darn convincing and very hard rocking cover that utilizes the original songs guitar riffs, and backs them up with shredding, wah-wah-ish leads and fiery, unorthodox solos. (Santana sure gets set loose, here, and is really permitted to really showcase his amazing talents.) Next, following Chickenfoots blistering cover of Highway Star, the album tosses in perhaps its heaviest moment, with a Glenn Hughes/Chad Smith cover of Maybe Im A Leo, which pounding, lurching, doomy guitar hooks and downtuned bass licks. Plenty of blistering guitar soloing is also included, here, as are wailing vocals that evoke Chris Cornells glory days more than anything else.
