Many Purple fans began to cry, when Gillan and Glover left, but that made room for other things. Lord discovered the world of synthezisers and Hughes and Coverdale brought Blues and Soul. It was not really better or worse than old Purple, it was only different. I like all incarnations of Purple ! The new album is sensational... 💖
Dont forget Glenn Hughes with those wonderful vocal harmonies and even when he takes the second part of the verse it compliments everything as oppose to being distracting. I saw Glenn Hughes live back in July last year and he still sounds amazing. I’m seeing him again in November and can hardly wait!
I love the way both Coverdale and Hughes comes in a duet in almost every song in this album. Hughes is the R&B guy on this Mark III and his the way hesing brings everything about it...
Another track demonstrating the strength of having two great and contrasting singers in the band. I think there was some kind of association between Glenn Hughes and Stevie Wonder around that time, and Stevie was a guest in the studio when Deep Purple recorded their next album, Stormbringer.
I don't know this Deep Purple album so well. And so seeing the title, I can't help but hear Enya sing "Sail away, sail away, sail away..." Quite a different kind of song! 😂
A funky track, and my fav. from Burn. You can also hear the beginning of the Rainbow guitar harmonies in the solo/bridge section. Hope you're holding up, dude. ❤
1976 - my younger brother Stuart, asked if he could join my band. I wrote out the notes to Sail Away & where he could find them on the fretboard. I said, if he could play the baseline to the track when I returned from the pub, he was in! He licked it good! October 2023, when dropping off one of my handmade 'Stormbringer ' Guitars to Glenn Hughes' guitarist Soren Andersen, we told that story to Glenn, who thought it was appropriate and cool!
THANKS ! Pure beauty. My girlfriend is in love with David Coverdale's voice, I'm too ! Of course there is Jon, Ritchie and Glenn with a very interesting use of his voice and David's voice, as they are contrasting, but above all David Coverdale is in charge vocally, has the lead of the song, and keeps control of it with such a laid-back serenity (he was 22 !), while Ian maintains the groove, with those tricky breaks and changes in the patterns (just TRY to play them without a score, I wish you good luck 😎). Great song
You have excellent ears, Glenn Hughes is a huge Stevie Wonder fan likewise David Coverdale. The first album also to properly present synthesiser for Purple, naturally by Jon Lord. Also composed by Ritchie Blackmore & David Coverdale, a good example that Coverdale could write other lyrics than about women and that stuff if he had wanted.
Have you heard any of Deep Purple the first incarnation? They did some covers of Neil Diamond songs that they amped up very nicely - if you never heard DP's cover of Hush, you gotta hear it! A kind of pounding funky groove with churchy organ, flash guitar, and manly vocals - part of the British Invasion of reinterpreted American music
Stevie wonder is supposed to have said that Hughes was his favourite white singer. The track 'this time around' from COME TASTE THE BAND sounds even more like a Stevie song.
Funky Purple. The whole of Burn is in my bones, so it's always a matter of whether knowing everything that comes next is going to this time mean that it's one time too many (and it never is), so I obviously enjoyed it. Hadn't thought of that funk before, though. What I'm hearing is some dUg Pinnick in the vocals, though, so I had the same thought earlier, on for different reasons. (They offered dUg the Deep Purple gig, and he turned it down to stick with Kings X.) (dUg is quite a bit younger than them, so I suppose I should be saying I missed some of the David Coverdale in dUg's singing. (Sorry, that's how he was writing it when he tried this online stuff for a while). Slightly related, *Law of Three* , a band Andy Edwards is involved in, has just put their new Déjà Funk single on RUclips. I think you'll like it. The "jazz band" is all on guitar synthesizer by guitar virtuoso, Roy Marchbank. (Just as a measure of speed, control, expression by comparison, he can play Shawn Lane's music. That's quite a feat. Nothing to fault in at least the musicianship, here.) A large part of the album's concept was to try something new on the guitar by going very synth heavy. Andy gives a proper explanation in his latest video. ruclips.net/video/Ug9ZtvjYyX0/видео.html
Hi Justin. Dave from Across The Universe (not quite!). Terrific track that plays to the strengths of their new vocalists so brilliantly. First-time funk for Purple? I agree with the Stevie Wonder similarity, especially in Glenn's vocals, which I think is more pronounced on their follow-up album Stormbringer. Love the way Jon is having fun with his new synth toy!
"Sail Away" is one of Burn's standout tracks with its pronounced soulful feel and although Stevie wonder may spring to mind (Glenn Hughes who sings the second half of the verses has always been a big fan), I find it could almost evoke a Free or Bad Company track (incidentally Paul Rodgers was Ritchie Blackmore's initial choice to replace Ian Gillan, but Rodgers turned down the offer). Speaking of Blackmore, on this track he uses a Synthi Hi-Fli guitar synthesizer (I suspect he also used it on the closing instrumental "'A' 200") and his slightly plaintive guitar playing is quite unique and typical of his style at the time (from around the end of 1973 with Purple to the end of 1975 with Rainbow) which gives it a certain sadness and indeed a Middle Eastern flavour. Justin, the closest Deep Purple ever came to a Stevie Wonder song (in this case, "Superstition") is the funky 'You Can't Do It Right (With the One You Love)' on their next album Stormbringer (with the same line-up).
If you think that "Sail Away" has a riff similar to "Superstition" then what would you say to "You Can't Do It Right (With the One You Love)"? That one is a lot closer to Stevie Wonder!
...One of Deep Purple's many favorite songs!! Thank you 🎸🎹🥁🎤
One of my favourite songs from deep purple
To this day Glenn Hughes is one of my favorite performers. Unrivaled voice and great rock bass player. Excellent songwriter too. Great live performer

Some people tend to overlook Glenn Hughes' vocals in Deep Purple. Such a shame.

You're one of the few who know what they're talking about, JP.
This one is such a jam! ...especially while listening on the road!
I don't know this Deep Purple album so well. And so seeing the title, I can't help but hear Enya sing "Sail away, sail away, sail away..."
Quite a different kind of song! 😂
I'm sorry to hear that xd

Authentic Soul-Metal. What could've it bwen if this proto genre did develop!
Yeah, this is just their best album. For me, no question.
This track is in stiff competition with "Mistreated" for my second favorite on the album, after "Burn" (of course). Powerful!
Stevie wonder is supposed to have said that Hughes was his favourite white singer. The track 'this time around' from COME TASTE THE BAND sounds even more like a Stevie song.

Fav Coverdale Hughes vocal track but Ian Paice Kills it
A firm favourite of mine!
Funky Bluesy.

I've always thought that Blackmore just fiddled with the riff from superstition to create this one. Not surpised you hear Stevie Wonder here, JP!

How can I tell you're a cat guy? 🤣
