Ian Gillan is rock / metal musician from United Kingdom. Who
is Ian Gillan? He's an elder statesman of rock, he was the original Jesus Christ
Superstar, and co-wrote "Smoke on the Water" (one of the most popular
songs of all time) among dozens of other hits. He has played to tens of millions
of fans, and sold over one hundred million records. He is the voice of rock
and roll, and has inspired generations of singers. He's an author, a playwright,
a songwriter and a philosopher with a wicked sense of humor and a bit of
the devil in his eye. Pavarotti said he is a genius, and David Gilmour said
as long as Gillan is singing, rock and roll is not dead. And most of all,
hes got a seasoned impassioned voice and lyrical sense still better than
any in rock and roll after forty years of giving it his all.
Nothing sums
up Ian Gillan more, than "Gillan's Inn", a career retrospective DualDisc like
none other! Having decided to re-visit the classic songs made
famous by
Deep Purple and his own solo career, Ian invited several of his friends to guest
on the album including Joe Elliot (Def Leppard); Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath);
guitarist Joe Satriani; Janick Gers (Iron Maiden); Uli Jon Roth (Scorpions),
Robby Takac & Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls), Ronnie James Dio (Dio), Steve
Morse, Jeff Healey and the rest of Deep Purple. Lending his ears & talent,
"Gillan's Inn" is produced by Nick Blagona (The Police, Bee Gees, Chicago, Rainbow,
Deep Purple, and many many others).
