For 1973's Burn, Deep Purple founders Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice and Jon Lord recruited the amazing vocal talents of rising new comer David Coverdale (Whitesnake, Coverdale/Page) and power bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes (Trapeze/Black Sabbath/Hughes Turner Project/Black Country Communion) for what turned out to be one of their best known and respected albums in their huge catalog. Commonly referred to by Purple fans as the Mark III line up, this dream team is often considered one of the finest hard rock outfits of all time. The term arena act began with bands like Deep Purple in the '60s and '70s, and these masters of the game have carried the torch ever since! Filled with heavy metal anthems like the title track "Burn," "Might Just Take Your Life," "Mistreated" and the hard rockin' "You Fool No One," Deep Purple's Burn is still revered as one of the finest albums of its era.
