[Heeplist] [NHC] Some Great New Music

Wed Jun 12 08:26:12 EDT 2013

Yep, I can't really compare Heeps recent cds to Purple because they are so much better than Purple at this point.. I listened to the Purple about 3 times then started skipping tracks, I just can't remember the songs names these days except for Vincent Price which has a pretty cool video on line for it. When I saw Rainbow in 79 I really enjoyed Don Airey and I think he was the best choice to take over for Jon Lord in Purple.
