Blackmore’s Night (http://www.blackmoresnight.com)
SPV/Fusion III (www.fusion3.com)
If you’ve never
heard of Blackmore’s Night, then you are in for a treat. Blackmore’s
Night stands for Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow) and his
wife Candice Night. A brilliant combination.
But don’t expect
to find a pounding distorted guitar here; Blackmore plays only the
acoustic guitar. I’ve always said that the mark of a great
guitarist is being able to play the acoustic awesomly; forget playing
scales at 100 miles per hour; Blackmore plays his instrument with
his heart and Night’s beautiful voice carries incredible melodies.
Although not an album
of original material, this CD contains love songs from the first
four Blackmore’s Night CDs. Mostly Celtic, but also classical,
if you’ve never heard this band, this album is a great introduction
to their music.
If you think you’ve
heard Ritchie Blackmore play the guitar, get ready for a surprise,
for something that will blow you away.
A great combination
of artists for a result that is impeccable! |
