Re-Machined

Time for a Deep Purple tribute record. Released in 2012, 'Re-Machined: A Tribute To Deep Purple's Machine Head' is just what the album title says, a tribute to one of Rock's best albums. The album features the likes of Santana, Jacoby Shaddix, Chickenfoot, Black Label Society, The Flaming Lips, Glenn Hughes, Iron Maiden and Metallica. There are tow very different takes on 'Smoke On The Water', the more straight forward version with Carlos Santana and Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix and then there's the wtf version that The Flaming Lips do. Which after thirty seconds of listening will have you wondering why it's on here. Most notably though is Metallica's choice to do a B-side from the album in 'When A Blind Man Cries', which is the last new thing Metallica has released of late. All in all this is a pretty good tribute album with some rocking cuts. Worth a listen, just skip over that Flaming Lips track.
