 The Book of Taliesyn is the second album by Deep Purple, released in 1969 by EMI's Harvest Records in the UK.
This version of the band features vocalist Rod Evans, and bassist Nick Simper, along with mainstays Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice.
The album follows the psychedelic/progressive rock sound of Shades of Deep Purple; however, there is a harder edge to several songs, beginning to show the new sound Deep Purple would introduce in 1970 with Deep Purple in Rock.
There are three cover versions on the album - "Kentucky Woman", originally from Neil Diamond, "We Can Work It Out" from the Beatles and "River Deep Mountain High", known from Ike and Tina Turner version.
The album's name is taken from a famous 14th century Welsh manuscript including certain poems attributed to the 6th century poet Taliesin
