Fireball

Deep Purple

A restless, experimental bridge between hard rock and early metal. Features thunderous double-kick drumming, spacey organ jams, and a bizarrely charming country detour.

It's the one where they got weird and invented speed metal drumming while also playing a country song.

A restless and experimental collision of high-speed power and psychedelic exploration.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the air-conditioner hum that starts the title track before the double-bass drums explode
the sudden transition into a honky-tonk piano shuffle on the unexpected country track
the way the organ and guitar trade licks during the extended psychedelic mid-section of the mule
