When it comes to rock music’s most expansive, branching family trees, few can rival Deep Purple’s. Throughout the 1970s, every member of Deep Purple not only made their mark within the band but also spawned offshoots and solo ventures that have become every bit as essential to classic rock fans. From Glenn Hughes’s ventures into funk-tinged soul, to Ritchie Blackmore’s genre-defining Rainbow albums, to David Coverdale’s early solo gems—this era teems with an incredible variety of sounds.
I talk about 15 key albums that illustrate just how diverse and exciting the Deep Purple family was during the ’70s. Along the way, I’ll highlight bonus recommendations and point you toward future listens.
