Jon Lord has mostly been known since the 1960s as the member of Deep Purple with the serious musical ambitions - of writing and arranging elaborate progressive rock-style suites and concerti for rock band and orchestra in various configurations. But in the mid-'60s, he played mostly American-style blues with a group called the Hoochie Coochie Men, and that's what this concert is about - recorded at a 2003 gig in Australia,it captures Lord and Rainbow alumnus Bob Daisley and his 2003-vintage band the Hoochie Coochie Men in concert, doing a straight mid-'60s British blues set comprised of pieces by Freddie King ("Hideaway"), Booker T. & the MG's ("Green Onions"), Elmore James ("Dust My Broom"), even working in "Strange Brew" by Cream (most impressive as an all-acoustic number) and Deep Purple's "When a Blindman Cries." Tim Gaze's singing and playing is more than equal to the challenge, as Lord and the band stretch out on most of this repertory.
