This song is considered one of the best tracks recorded by Deep Purple after their reunion in 1984 and for this reason have made it part of their live performances.[2]
Steve Morse remembered: "“Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming” started as me noodling, playing quietly to myself. Roger and Jon heard what I was doing and said, “What was that, again? Let’s see if it’ll work with this.” It became a song that day. Any idea could grow from a sprout into a tree".[3]
The "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" was one of the first songs that are recorded with Deep Purple Steve Morse on guitar. Boasting melodic style and vocal outbursts Ian Gillan and closes with a repetitive guitar solo by Morse.
