"Soldier of Fortune" is a blues rock ballad written by Ritchie Blackmore and David Coverdale and originally released on Deep Purple's 1974 album Stormbringer. Though Deep Purple has never released the song as a single and it has never placed on the record charts, it has developed a cult following over the years, and cover versions have been released by Whitesnake, Opeth, and Black Majesty, and has been covered in concert by Blackmore's Night.
The Opeth cover was included as a bonus track in the "Special Edition" release of Ghost Reveries (2006) and was subsequently released as a single in March 2007, which is available from iTunes. Roadrunner Records lists Opeth's version among their 13 wildest covers, calling it a faithful cover and noting Mikael Åkerfeldt's "unexpectedly soulful vocals."
David Coverdale said in an interview "If you think of “Soldier of Fortune,” which the rest of the band didn’t buy off on at all. It was the only time I saw Ritchie really—well, no I saw him angry actually a couple of times. We actually cut a demo after they passed on doing “Soldier of Fortune” to show them the vision of what we had. To this day it is one of the biggest classics of that time period, you know, Glenn’s and mines Mach III association.
Ritchie walked out of the studio with me and said, “That’s the last time I ever fucking do that. If they don’t trust that I don’t know what I’m doing then fuck them.” I think that was one of the seeds that led to him saying, “Fuck it, I’m moving on.” Trust is an immense issue when you’re working with a band, certainly when it comes to a vision".
