  • Fantastic Show

    I’ve been a long time listener of Scott’s podcasts. The Uriah Heep is worth listening to as well. Scott has a unique view on these songs. It’s nice to hear some things I agree with, but also what we don’t. Deep Purple has such an expanse when it comes to styles and members. Everyone seems to have different favorites and disliked songs. I’m just finishing up Come Taste The Band now. I look forward to hearing the rest of the catalog.

  • Great Show

    So cool to have someone like Scott giving his synopsis of each Deep Purple tune. He explores the song bit by bit and points out undiscovered parts of the tune that the average Deep Purple fan had no idea about. You might not always agree with his views but that’s the beauty of music. Thank you for the show.

  • Great deep dive into EVERY DP Studio Track

    This is my most listened show these days. As a DP fan since early 1990’s I just have to appreciate this kind of dedication. And yes – even if I wasn’t a fan, this would be much appreciated. Scott is recording ridiculous amount of episodes per week (I have to wonder how does he do that, mostly just by himself speaking alone) and altough I’ve followed quite constantly my Podcast feed – it seems like there’s always something new to listen to, or maybe listen again as I sometimes press play on bedt... more

  • Deep Purple in detail

    Essential listening if you’re a serious fan of Deep Purple, each track broken down in detail. Despite having listened to Purple and related bands for about 5 decades Scott is pointing out stuff I’d missed or not really paid attention to that actually really enhances my subsequent listening experience.

  • Ere’s A Podcast For Ya !

    This is an essential listen for anyone interested in the history of Deep Purple. Scott takes an in-depth look at each studio recording ever made by the band and he never gets too technical whilst expertly picking apart each performance. His enthusiasm is really infectious and makes me want to go back and listen again to all that great music. A 5 star show !

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jenny Take A Ride
Q: Interesting that you noted the keyboard parts might not have been present originally; how did that influence your approach to this track?
I approached it by acknowledging that Jenny Take a Ride has a strong keyboard presence, but I kept the arrangement in a way that honors the original while letting the keyboard textures sit within the modern production context.
Burn with Nathan Beaudry
Q: How do you feel doing this kind of a format where you're really digging in and listening, doing a more critical listen than a more casual listen?
I love it. I like being able to focus on one song a little more closely, and I think it reveals things you may have never noticed before.
Burn with Nathan Beaudry
Q: What makes this song 'Burn' so special to you?
It's awesome and represents the first real foray into what Deep Purple could be, showcasing a new direction for the band.
Rosa's Cantina w/John Mottola
Q: What about this song is it that made you want to do the show?
John shares how he initially didn't like the song but later discovered it to be one of his new favorites, noting its unique blend of classic Deep Purple elements with a fresh sound.
Don't Let Go
Q: What do you guys think of the track?
Scott expresses his disappointment with the song and encourages listeners to share their thoughts, hoping for differing opinions.
