One Eye to Morocco is the fifth solo studio album by English Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan.

[4] As Gillan himself tells, he was in the Jewish-quarter of Kraków listening to the related stories of Oskar Schindler when the voice faded – and then returned and somebody told him: 'Ah, Ian you have one eye to Morocco.'

In spring 2008 there was a gap between Purple's World Tour, as bassist Roger Glover's mother had died, so Gillan returned to Buffalo to do something new.

In a short period of time, with his former bandmate Steve Morris, Ian wrote more than thirty songs.

Ian Gillan said himself:[4] "It was a conscious decision to avoid the use of a rock rhythm section and you will notice the complete absence of guitar and keyboard solos – we get the very best of all that from Deep Purple.
