Deep Purple's Ian Gillan Reunites With The Javelins, Debut Album Due August 31


Years before he helped define heavy metal and hard rock as lead singer of Deep Purple, a teenage Ian Gillan played in a band called The Javelins that performed covers of American blues, rock 'n' roll, soul and country tunes.


Now, more than 50 years after they broke up, Gillan and The Javelins have reunited to record the group's debut album.

Ian Gillan and the Javelins will be released August 31 as a CD digipak, a vinyl LP and a digital download. The 16-track collection features renditions of rock classics like The Contours' "Do You Love Me," Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)," Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Rock and Roll Music," Jerry Lee Lewis' "High School Confidential," Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy!," Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightnin'," and Ray Charles' "What I'd Say."
