Come Hell or High Water is a CD and DVD by the hard rock group Deep Purple. It was recorded on 16 October 1993 in "Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle" in Stuttgart, Germany and in Birmingham on 9 November…
This two-fer from hard rock legends Deep Purple features a pair of late-period offerings. 1992's generally well-received studio album The Battle Rages On… relied on the talents of the most popular iteration of the band (Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice), while 1994's more divisive Come Hell or High Water offered up a less than enthusiastic live set that consisted mainly of tired readings of DP classics like "Highway Star" and "Smoke on the Water."
Acclaimed North Carolina-based singer-songwriter Malcolm Holcombe, "a troubadour seemingly from another age" (Elmore), released 'Come Hell or High Water'. Featuring collaborations with celebrated roots-music couple Iris DeMent and Greg Brown, the 13-track album is trademark Malcolm. Chiseled out of a life abundant in both hard times and sweet ones, with an ache of loveliness and loneliness, of torment and hope, woven throughout, his songs paint vivid portraits, turning them into haunting, brooding, moving affairs. Recorded at Dagotown Recorders in Boston, MA, 'Come Hell or High Water' was produced by Marco Giovino and Jared Tyler. Holcombe was joined in studio by Jared Tyler (mandola, dobro, classical guitar, harmony vocals), Marco Giovino (drums, percussion), Iris DeMent (harmony vocals) and Greg Brown (harmony vocals).
