5.0 out of 5 stars The best so far in English revival folk/rock, 9 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Under a Violet Moon (Audio CD)

Tapping into English folk without too much of the fiddle-de-dee, Blackmore's renditions of some great English music with enough rock influence to give it zap, and not forgetting the to-die-for vocals from Candice, this hopefully heralds the arrival of something very new in the UK music scene.

Beautiful lyrics (especially 'Now and Then')and enough haunting melody to conjure images of magical medievalism, this music is definitely food for the soul for tree huggers, 70's throwbacks, pagans and those looking for a new England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic voice meets brilliant guitarist, result ...heaven!, 2 July 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Under a Violet Moon (Audio CD)

I'd lost touch with Ritchie Blackmore's musical exploits for a few years. When I happened upon this whilst surfing the web I thought "why not" and bought it. It's brilliant! The medieval moods set by the early Rainbow are all there but stronger than ever. Candice's voice is simply beautiful. Great songs,(particularly the title track and "Now & then")and great musicians - if you've ever been into Mr Blackmore's music buy this and rediscover the magic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical maestro pauses for refreshment, 26 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Under A Violet Moon (Audio CD)

This is a more restrained Blackmore, gone is the posturing, the enfant terrible. Here we have, often, the complementing of haunting medieval moods, wind, bells, the acoustic guitar. To all those parents who listened second hand to Ritchie's electric furies via the living room floor, absorb this eclectic beauty. If the electric guitar at the end of 'Gone with the Wind' does not make your spine tingle then you very well may be dead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, but a pale imitation of their live performance
While Ritchie wrote some good tunes here and some of them have been terrific as part of the live set over the years (See the Castles and Dreams DVD) this album is strangely flat... Read more
