Don Airey chats with Phil Aston on the Now Spinning Magazine podcast.

In this exclusive interview, Don talks about working with Simon McBride, the band’s creative chemistry, recording together in the studio, Bob Ezrin’s influence on the songwriting process, the role of the Hammond organ, and why Deep Purple continue to sound inspired more than fifty years into their career.

Plus, Don shares stories about the making of Splat!, life on the road with Deep Purple, and how many of the album’s songs could take on a whole new life in concert.

We can’t show it here as for some reason playback on other sites has been disabled for this video. Head over to youtube to watch it.

Thanks to Mike Whiteley for the heads-up.
