One of the hardest rockin’ songs on AM radio in the late 60’s was this Joe South tune, first done by Billy Joe Royal and taken to a whole different level by Deep Purple as their first hit. And yes, it’s true the band got their name from the favorite song of their guitarist Ritchie Blackmore’s granny. Blackmore is great here as always, but the organ by Jon Lord is from another planet.
