A sample of some obscure – and some maybe not obscure – tunes from my strange and off-the-wall collection.

Today’s selection: Deep Purple - April

A lesser known tune off Deep Purple's lesser known third album "Deep Purple" released in 1969. "Hush" off their first album ("Shades Of ...") gave the band a presence in the US but their second album (Book of Taliesyn) did not do well (#54) with a cover of "Kentucky Woman" being the most successful cut. "Deep Purple" was even less successful (peaking at #162). It wasn't until their 4th studio album - "In Rock" - released in 1970 that the band could be considered successful with "Black Night", "Child In Time", "Speed King" as significant cuts.
