JOHNNY’S BAND is the third single from the album inFinite. The song ''Johnny's Band'' is an affectionate portrait of a fictional band that quickly gain success and enjoy every side that comes with it. As often happens, Johnny's Band can´t help but lose it, and break up, only to find out later that the pleasure still to be performing live is all that matters, even when the hype, the success and the glory have long vanished. As special bonus treats, the single includes four previously unreleased songs. "In & Out Jam" gives fans a glimpse behind the scenes of the album recordings. On top, the JOHNNY’S BAND is peppered with three amazing and previously unreleased live versions. "Strange Kind Of Woman", "The Mule" and "Hell To Pay" were recorded on the successful Now What?! World Tour in Gaevle, Sweden on 10th August 2013 and are, just like the rehearsal recording, only available on this JOHNNY’S BAND EP.
PERSONNEL: Ian Gillan – vocals; Steve Morse – guitars; Roger Glover – bass; Ian Paice – drums; Don Airey – keyboards.
2017 is the year of Purple. We have not just their awesome new album InFinite, but also a new live album included with the deluxe box set version. There is a Classic Rock magazine CD called Limitless including an exclusive version of “Black Night”. There have been two CD singles (Time For Bedlam and All I Got Is You) each with their own exclusives. Now, Deep Purple have released their third single from InFinite, called JOHNNY’S BAND. More exclusives abound, making this 2017 quite a fun year for Deep Purple fans and collectors. Have you been keeping up? If you bought InFinite (and you should, what are you waiting for?), then you know “Johnny’s Band” is one of the most instantly catchy songs on it. Gillan’s lyrics are witty and honest, and did you notice the musical segue into “Louie Louie”? JOHNNY’S BAND is a much more obvious single than the first two they released, so let’s be glad that somebody thought Deep Purple needed three singles for InFinite. The lyrics tell the story of a band who hit it big, fell down hard, but keep slogging away in the bars anyway. In the end, Ian Gillan gives it a positive conclusion. It is, after all, all about the music. Perhaps there’s a little slice of life in there. Second track is an unreleased studio jam. “In & Out Jam” focuses on a low key guitar riff as its base, but spreads in other musical directions from there. The bottom line is this: Steve Morse, Don Airey, Roger Glover and Ian Paice jamming together is always going to produce something of value. “In & Out Jam” isn’t a song and probably wasn’t likely to ever become one, but these are ideas from the best brains in rock and enough to make the musician in you weep in sorrowful inadequacy. Live tracks from Gaelve, Sweden finish off this single. There are now three different live versions of “Strange Kind Of Woman” released this year. How much is too much? Who cares. “The Mule” is played far more rarely, but there is still another version of it on the deluxe boxed InFinite set. It’s a thunderous showcase for drummer Ian Paice, who is still one of the greats at age 69. The years take their toll on everyone, but Paicey does not sound 69 years old here! The last of the live songs is the newest, “Hell To Pay” from 2013’s Now What?! This is only the third live version of the song ever released. It’s a short blast of guitar and keyboard mania, with a chorus on top. Its most interesting feature is the organ solo in the middle, something you don’t hear on many singles (which “Hell to Pay” was). Deep Purple were on tour with Alice Cooper in 2017. Both artists have put out remarkably strong albums in 2017. Will wonders never cease?
