Today's song comes from keyboard rockers "Deep Purple" "Burn" is a single, and the opening track from the album of the same name. It was the first album to feature David Coverdale as the new singer for the band and Glenn Hughes as the new bassist as well.
Now here's another Genesis single that is probably one of their most interesting songs. "The Carpet Crawlers" is a single from the album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and was released in April 1975. It was also the last single to feature Peter Gabriel before his departure from the band.
Today's video is somewhat of a special treat. Instead of just one isolation video, I have a compilation video of Steve Hackett's isolated guitar songs from a couple Genesis songs from their "Peter Gabriel" days. It'd be hard to list which albums all of these are from, but if you are a Genesis fan, I can say it's worth the watch. :)
