Turning to Crime, out November 26, is Deep Purple’s 22nd album and was produced by Bob Ezrin, as was his latest album, Whoosh! 2020.
After five decades of records made primarily of original material, Deep Purple’s 22nd studio album consists solely of songs previously recorded by other artists.
Cuts on the record were previously recorded by Love, Huey «Piano» Smith, Fleetwood Mac, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles & Quincy Jones, Little Feat, The Yardbirds, Lonnie Donegan / Johnny Horton, Bob Seger, and Cream.
Also included is «Caught In The Act», a medley of songs by Freddie King, Booker T. and MG’s, The Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, and The Spencer Davis Group.
Despite being covers, the album can be considered 100% Deep Purple, because the band managed to impose its imprint on all versions.
In December 2020, Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover revealed that the band was working on a new project.
The recording was made remotely due to confinement restrictions due to the pandemic, and comes out with the earMusic label.
