Don Airey took over for the legendary Jon Lord in Deep Purple when the elder Lord decided to retire from the band. Airey, the logical choice, has had an amazing career, playing with some of the greatest men to ever 
brandish a guitar, including Ritchie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Randy Rhoads, Brian May, Brad Gillis, Tony Iommi, Glenn Tipoton, KK Downing, Steve Via—well, you get the picture.
He is Heavy Metal"s best known keyboard player, a dubious accolade, but an honor that Airey wears with pride.
In a genre based on the electric guitar, the keyboard is usually given the background treatment, if given the light of day at all. Airey, along with Deep Purple"s Jon Lord, have changed all of that. Purple"s love affair with the keyboard is well documented but it was Airey that brought the instrument to new heights when he wrote and performed the opening to "Mr. Crowley" on Ozzy Osbourne"s Blizzard of Oz.
Now, after two decades, Airey has released his second solo album, an ode to the universe, titled A Light in the Sky. The musical concept album sees Airey showing off all of his influences and even brining out two songs that could have been on the next Deep Purple album. The album is a complex weaving of styles that will thrill any fan of any of the bands Airey has been a part of. Read on to learn how the album came to be as well as how Airey went from seeing Deep Purple perform in 1971 to becoming their current keyboard player.
