During the course of Deep Purple's long and storied career, the band has explored a variety of different sounds, all of which revealed the diverse musical tastes of the various members. 1974's Stormbringer was the second album (in the years after Ian Gillan's departure and before his return) to feature the line-up of Mk II staples Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord and Ian Paice along with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. It was also this configuration's second album to be released in just nine months, after Burn appeared in the early part of 1974. Stormbringer was bookended by writing collaborations between Blackmore and Coverdale, the title song and "Soldier Of Fortune." All of the rest of the band took part in the songwriting, which veered more towards soulful influences than perhaps any other Deep Purple album. Stormbringer had a fine showing on both sides of the Atlantic hitting No. 20 in the US and No. 6 in the UK.
