Hard rockers Deep Purple have covered an early 1969 Fleetwood Mac classic, Oh Well in a new heist-themed music video. The track will appear on their upcoming studio album, Turn to Crime. 

“Everyone knows Oh Well is a great song,” bassist Roger Glover said in a press release. “Steve [Morse] did the demo for that one. You never quite know where it's gonna go with Steve, because he is very inventive. Right up until the point, with a couple of verses in, it was pretty much the same as the original. And then, all of a sudden, it took off like a rocket – in some other space.”

The upcoming album, Turn to Crime was produced by Bob Ezrin, as was their previous album, 2020’s Whoosh!. The tracklisting is stacked with classic covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Cream, Bob Seger and more. 

In an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, drummer Ian Paice said, “It’s about having fun. There’s enough crap out there messing our lives up. Music is one of the things that should give us pleasure. Now, hopefully, if you go through a long career like I’ve had, it can still be fun. There’s no reason why that should change. Okay, it gets a little more serious. You know, you have to treat it with a lot more respect. But it’s still fun.”

Turn to Crime, is due out on November 26th. Pre-order, here.
