This ambitious anthology chronicles the life of hard rock Deep Purple and its many offshoots, predecessors, and legacies, from well-known acts such as Whitesnake, Rainbow, and Dio to lesser known groups like Trapeze. The 26 track collection also includes hits by the original act including the signature song "Smoke On The Water." An entertaining, if rather puzzling, sort of concept album, DEEP PURPLE FAMILY is mostly written and sung by Eddie Hardin, the man who had the unenviable task of replacing Stevie Winwood in the old Spencer Davis Group, and later formed the prog-rock duo Hardin & York. Hardin has assembled an impressive, if grizzled, group of Brit Rock names here--various members of Deep Purple, Manfred Mann, and the Dave Clark Fives--to help him perform this lengthy song cycle. Musically, it's a pleasant ride; most of Hardin's songs sound like laid-back, '70s L.A. studio pop, although Maggie Bell (England's answer to Janis Joplin back in the day) raises the energy level considerably on her two songs, and the Chris Barber Band makes some nice retro jazz noises on parts one and two of "Swanks and Swells." 

1999 release, a 'family tree' album with cuts by Deep Purple, solo cuts by members of the band, including Glenn Hughes, Ian Gillan, Bernie Marsden & David Coverdale, plus bands with Deep Purple members, including Rainbow, Trapeze, E.L.F. & War Horse. 26 tracks in all.
