Biography

Blackmore’s Night is a folk-rock band led by Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Rainbow fame. He turned away from hard rock in the 1990s when he met Candice Night and discovered their shared love of renaissance music. They released their debut, Shadow of the Moon, in 1997, with the help of session musicians, and it became an instant hit. Subsequent albums have fared equally well and they perform… Read more in Amazon's Blackmore's Night Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps getting better & better, October 27, 1999

This review is from: Under a Violet Moon (Audio CD)
Ritchie Blackmore has been my favorite guitarist since I first picked up the guitar 14 years ago. His riffs & melodies were so damn creative & original how could you not appreciate him? I was very excited by the first Blackmore's Night cd. It was so different than anything he has done before although underneath his work in Rainbow it started to creep out. I have to say, UNDER A VIOLET MOON was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure if they could improve on the first cd, but they did. A truly amazing listening experience. So refreshing! It couldn't have come at a better time, when music nowadays is based on image (thanks to MTV). Even though all the songs on UNDER A VIOLET MOON are excellent my favorite tracks are: Title track, PAST TIME WITH GOOD COMPANY, MORNING STAR, and SPANISH NIGHTS (I remember it well). These are the darker songs on the cd and I think that Blackmore was most at home on those. I hope Blackmore's Night continues to release more material in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Still May Think of You Now and Then, June 19, 2004

This review is from: Under a Violet Moon (Audio CD)
Wow! So we have This medieval reniasacne prog rock thing led by the guitar master Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple and this wonderful female vocalist I have never heard of before, Candice Night. A lot of their songs are either influenced or are covers of old reneissance classics. Ritchie does a good job with acoustic guitar and Miss Night does a good job looking beautfiul and singing just as well! Since I'm sort of obsessed with that period histroically it is nice to find a nice rock type band influenced by it!

If you want more, I later discovered Aina: The Days of Rising Doom: the Metal Opera in which Candice Night does some vocal work. I would also check out Fires at Midnight and Past Times with Good Company. Very good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ritchie-This is a Great CD, April 29, 2003

This review is from: Under a Violet Moon (Audio CD)
Ritchie Blackmore shifted his musical focus away from hard rock in the late 1990s and started concentrating on his love of Renaissance-era music. He formed Blackmore's Night with his fiancee, vocalist/lyricist Candice Night also recruited other musicians from around the world to combine elements of world music, Renaissance, new age, folk, and rock & roll.

Good CD .... Buy It
