According to Classic Rock Review": "“Pictures of Home” is Deep Purple at their most poignant, a driving rhythm topped by sweeping vocals pushing out deep lyrical motifs, all accented by the distinct, distorted Hammond organ of John Lord. Glover even gets a short bass solo in the middle section before Blackmore warms for lift-off before a surprising false stop and comeback makes the song all the more interesting".〔R.A. (Machine Head by Deep Purple )〕 Ritchie Blackmore says that he was inspired by a short wave radio channel, "probably from Bulgaria or Turkey" when writing the main riff.〔Classic Albums: Deep Purple – The Making of Machine Head〕 Ian Gillan's lyrics were a result of studio paranoia and home sickness. It is the only song from Machine Head that was not performed live during Deep Purple's 1972 tour.〔Jerry Bloom 〕 Blackmore refused to play the song live. Since his replacement with Steve Morse in 1994, the song has become a recent feature in Deep Purple's live shows. It has been the opening song throughout the Rapture of the Deep Tour.〔http://www.purple.de/dirk/purple/mark10.php〕 In 2010 “Pictures of Home” documentary film about Ian Gillan was made.
