"Hush" is a song written by Joe South for Billy Joe Royal. It was a minor hit in 1967, peaking at number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is better known for the version by British hard rock band Deep Purple, recorded on May 11, 1968, for their debut album Shades of Deep Purple. The song was chosen as the album's accommodating single by their American label, Tetragrammaton. It was their first hit, peaking at number 4 in the United States and number 2 in Canada, although it remained relatively overlooked in the UK. The band re-recorded the song in 1988, to celebrate their 20-year anniversary, with a different singer (Ian Gillan) than the original recording (Rod Evans). The newer version can be found on the album Nobody's Perfect. The 1988 version reached number 62 on the UK singles chart and number 44 on the Album Rock Tracks chart in the US. "Hush" is one of four songs that the band has performed with Ian Gillan on vocals, when they originally recorded it with another vocalist. This has also been done with "Kentucky Woman", originally from the album "The Book of Taliesyn" from 1968, "Mandrake Root" from the same album as "Hush" originally was featured on, and "Bird Has Flown" from the album Deep Purple, or Deep Purple III, released in 1969. Coincidentally, all these four songs were originally sung by Rod Evans. Se ha utilizado la versión de Deep Purple en las películas: Apollo 13, Isn't She Great, Beyond the Sea y Children of Men |

Shades of Deep Purple is the debut album by English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 1968 on Tetragrammaton in US, and Parlophone in the UK. It was released without much attention in the UK, where it did not perform sales-wise. In the US on the other hand, it was a massive success, contributing largely to the attention Deep Purple would get there, and also eventually also over to the UK. Sound-wise, it is more leaned on psychedelia and progressive rock. Rehearsing began in February, after Nick Simper, Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice (as of yet without an appropriate drum kit) had hired Rod Evans to sing after some auditions. Their first rehearsals (Paice having now gotten his favoured drum kit) involved mostly jamming and some occasional glimpses with the instrumentals "And The Address" and "Mandrake Root", which Blackmore had written earlier that year. Their previous test-singer, Chris Curtis had been wanting to add a cover of a Beatles song to an eventual album, and therefore the first proper song that was set in motion turned out to be "Help!". "Mandrake Root" was given lyrics, so the album would feature only one instrumental. Then, with those three well inducted, the band started to think on "I'm So Glad", a song by Skip James, which had earlier been covered by Cream. Ian Paice and Rod Evans had also recorded the song earlier, with their band The Maze. It was to be proven typical with Deep Purple in these early years that all the cover songs recorded were considerably longer and more grandiose than the originals. "I'm So Glad" was certainly no exception. When the track was recorded, the first movement of Scheherazade was added before the actual song began. The next song added to the rehearsals was "Hey Joe", a song originally, but disputably, written by Billy Roberts, and mistakenly credited to "Deep Purple" on original releases of the Shades album. The Jimi Hendrix Experience had recorded a version of this song in late 1966, and this was used as the main inspiration. But as well as "I'm So Glad", the song was heavily blown up and stretched in length. Joe South had written a song for Billy Joe Royal the previous year, called "Hush", and this song was also picked up by the band. |
