Stormbringer by Deep Purple
Stormbringer is an album by Deep Purple, released in 1974. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Stormbringer”, on 1 list with a best position of #707.
Stormbringer, Deep Purple's ninth studio album, arrived in 1974 as the second and last record by the Mark III lineup: David Coverdale on lead vocals, Glenn Hughes on bass and vocals, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Jon Lord on keyboards and Ian Paice on drums. Martin Birch produced.
The title track still thunders like classic Purple, but elsewhere funk grooves creep in, and with two singers up front in Hughes and Coverdale, the band sounds like it's pulling in new directions. Blackmore didn't stick around to argue about it: this was his last Purple album before he walked out in 1975 over musical differences, with Tommy Bolin stepping in. Blackmore wouldn't record with Deep Purple again until the Mark II reunion on Perfect Strangers in 1984.
