| Ritchie Blackmore's career was far from over
when Deep Purple disbanded. When he put out the first Rainbow
CD, that fact was very well established. However, as with Deep
Purple, Rainbow faced many personnel changes. It starts to make
one wonder if a certain guitar player by the name of Ritchie
Blackmore has difficulty in getting along with others. But
regardless, he put out some great stuff in his time. I prefer
the earlier stuff with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. I mean no
offense to the other singers but the later stuff was too
commercial. There is a good mix from all of the years of Rainbow
and it is a fine selection, overall. This CD contains: "Man
on the Silver Mountain", "Long Live Rock and
Roll", "Gates of Babylon", "Since You Been
Gone", "Street of Dreams", "Stone
Cold", "Catch the Rainbow" and more. Ritchie
Blackmore is one of classic rock's great guitarists and this CD
explains why. |
