Summary: 5 Stars
Cuando uno estudia la historia del rock se sorprendera de var cuan grande ha sido la influencia que en muchos grupos a tendo la legendaria banda inglesa, clasicos, por decir lo menos sus discos Machine Head, Made in Japan, Fireball, en cada disco la mezcla de ingredientes era la justa, el resultado....MAGIA, aunque si bien la formacion Mk II fue la mas conocida no hay que restar tanto a Coverdale como al fallecido Bolin quienes aportaron en dificiles momentos a mantener una layenda....hoy por hoy quizas abusando un poco de su mito Deep Purple se mantiene en la batalla pero ya no como soldados sino como generales que solo añoran poder contar sus viejas hazañas, sus viejas canciones que sin duda han sido para muchos de nosotros los recuerdos de bronce.
Esta biografia da un rapido repaso acerca de los origenes, transicion y caida de esta banda, realmente buena, interesante y completa, de seguro junto a una buena cerveza y escuchando sus discos te hara olvidar el problematico mundo que vives, no dudes, pidelo y siente la magia que esta ahi...tan solo con abrir el libro y en tu stereo apretar "play".......
