Turning to Crime is the twenty-second album by English rock band Deep Purple. Released on 26 November 2021, it is composed entirely of covers,[1] and is the last Deep Purple album to feature guitarist Steve Morse before he left the band in July 2022.
Background and recording
Turning to Crime was created following a suggestion by Bob Ezrin, Deep Purple's producer since 2013.[2] Released about fifteen months after Whoosh!, this marked the first time since 1975's Come Taste the Band that Deep Purple had released a new studio album just one year after their previous one.
The track "The Battle of New Orleans" marks the first time Roger Glover has performed vocals of any kind on a Deep Purple studio recording.
A 13th Track "(I'm a) Road Runner" was released as a download for describers on October 6, 2021, and later on the Limited Edition 5×12″ Vinyl Box Set, as the B-side of "7 and 7 Is".
