Product Description

CD Description

As the drums kick into the fierce opener "Tarot Woman", it's obvious that RISING delivers directly to your door. It is the band's second release, and a vast improvement over RICHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. With a revamped lineup that sounds like it had been touring together for years, the album takes no prisoners. "Starstruck" is a classic groove reminiscent ofguitarist Blackmore's ex-band Deep Purple. Blackmore replaced everyone from the first album's lineup except vocalist Ronnie Dio with Jimmy Bain (bass), Tony Carey (keyboards), andCozy Powell (drums). Dio shows what he's got with a stellarperformance on "Do You Close Your Eyes". "Stargazer" is theband's "Kashmir", an epic eight-minute track that could stand as its signature song. "A Light in the Black" features the skin bashing of the late, great Mr. Powell.
RISING is amust-have for any fan of Dio, Blackmore, or classic metal. Five musicians came together for a one-shot moment that won't be duplicated. The album is magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic, never bettered, 5 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Bruce Dickinson once said of this album "Goblins will come out of your CD player". This is THE definitive fantasy concept rock album, a truly sensual experience lifting the listener higher and higher as Blackmore, Dio, Carey, Bain and Powell bond with an indescribable chemistry and produce one of the true all time classics.

Stargazer deserves the plaudits as a triumph yet the rest of the album screams quality too. Tarot Woman creates a wonderful atmosphere - play this in a darkened room and let it play with your senses! Run With The Wolf and Starstruck carry the fantasy elements on while Do You Close Your Eyes is a good straight rocker (mindblowingly good set closer on the Live In Germany 76 CD) before Stargazer and Light In The Black pull the senses back into the fantasy world this album has created.

Everything about this album is flawless - writing, musicianship and performance. Forget the mindless mediocrity churned out by the factory created media machine and let the quality of this classic shine through.

5.0 out of 5 stars BLACKMORE, DIO AND CO. CERTAINLY "RISE" TO THE OCCASION!, 10 May 2001
I'd say this was the best album that Rainbow had done, much better and harder than its predecessor. With a new keyboard player, bassist and an exceptional drummer in the late, great Cozy Powell, Blackmore and Dio unleashed six impressive tracks, the highlights of which are 'Stargazer' which begins with a powerful Powell flourish and ascends into orchestral levels of music, and 'Light In The Black' which goes along at breakneck speed, battering the senses with its guitar and keyboard solos. The other tracks are just as good - 'Tarot Woman' starts it all off with a keyboard intro before Ritchie slams in his riff, 'Run With The Wolf' and 'Starstruck' are solid and 'Do You Close Your Eyes' is nothing short of being a headbanging rocker of a piece. With an accomplished, charismatic singer in Dio, Blackmore had at last got what he wanted and after one more album with Dio, it wasn't to end there...END

5.0 out of 5 stars The best studio album of the 70's, 26 Jan 2004
By Mark Kirkman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is, without doubt, one of the best Rock studio albums ever released. From the mystical keyboard intro (building into the opening riff) of Tarot Woman, through to the Tour de Force that is "Light in the Black" (one of Cozy's best) the pace never stops. Stargazer is absolutely awesome (especially Dio's ad-libs at the end - "My eyes are bleeding.....) and makes you feel you are on the Tower of Stone with the Wizard himself. Blackmore's guitar playing, now freed of Coverdale/Hughes funky influences, smashes home the riffs with his unique style - Starstruck is classic Blackmore - and his lead breaks interchange structure (LITB) with avante-garde (TW) and harmony
(DYCYE). It's interesting to note Blackmore's success and ascendence, and Deep Purple's demise in the same period.

The writing combination of Dio/Blackmore would stand only one more studio album, and RB would break this version of Rainbow up before then. After the "Onstage" live album, Blackmore would turn his writing skills to a more commercial direction, again to great success, and wouldn't return to the more Rocky directon until "Stranger in us All" in the mid-90's. Put "Rising" on your CD/Record player, turn it up and relive 35 minutes of sheer Classic Rock.
