Deep Purple (1971) Anyone's Daughter

Anyone's Daughter is a bizarre oddity of a track, a country, rootsy song, midtempo with chicken picked guitar and some bluesy phrases and strongly reverbed steel guitar sliding in the background. A departure from the Classic Purple sound, heavy monolithic metal with complete with classical guitar and organ passages and speed drumming. For a band that had many different members, line-ups and genres their music always was played with the same intensity, a  grounded crunch with frequent bursts of classically influenced soloes. This song veers away considerably with it's acoustic presence but it's got a solid groove and a more melodic touch than the heavily syncopated riffs of Purple classics.
