Album Description

The prolific pairing of 70s guitar God {$Ritchie Blackmore} and singer {$Candice Night} reaches its fourth studio release with 2003's {^Ghost of a Rose}. And, as proven by previous outings, much more than an excuse to dress up in cute medieval costumes for photographs set in a world of kings, peasants and knights (well, Long Island, anyway), {$Blackmore's Night} is a chance to break the mold of pop and rock idioms and try pretty much anything the duo's hearts' may desire. To wit, curious opener {&"Way to Mandalay"} sounds like a cross between {^Rainbow Rising}'s {&"Tarot Woman"} (see opening synths) and {$Madonna}'s very Latin {&"La Isla Bonita"}! And that's just the beginning as ensuing numbers like {&"3 Black Crowes,"} {&"Ivory Tower"} and {&"Loreley"} find Mr. {$Blackmore}, {$Night} (a.k.a. Mrs. Blackmore), and their merry band happily indulging their kinks for medieval madrigals, gothic ballads and sprightly, danceable folk tunes. In-between, they also find time to reconstruct the {$Joan Baez} standard {&"Diamonds and Rust,"} and feature a few {$Blackmore} acoustic guitar solos such as {&"Nur eine Minute"} and {&"Mr. Peagram's Morris and Sword,"} which he performs on an antique mandolin. Also, particular evocative are the wistful {&"Dandelion Wine,"} the quite grand title track (inspired by cellist {$Jacqueline du Pre} and classical English composer {$Edward Elgar}), and the hauntingly beautiful {&"Where are we going from Here."} And, then there's a surprisingly rocking rendition of {$Jethro Tull}'s obscure b-side {&"Rainbow Blues"} that sees {$Ritchie} in full, electrified flight -- yet another sign that {$Blackmore's Night} have much to offer eclectic music listeners willing to leave their prejudices at the door. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Album Description

For those fans still incapable (or unwilling) to accept {$Deep Purple} guitar legend {$Ritchie Blackmore}'s defection from {\heavy metal} glory into the acoustic renaissance music of {$Blackmore's Night}, perhaps this double live album will finally drive the reality home. Recorded in May 2002, {^Past Time with Good Company} (named after a traditional {\folk} song written by none other than {%King Henry VIII}) finds the obdurate guitarist and his conversely charming sparring partner and wife, vocalist {$Candice Night}, performing before a few hundred friends in the Netherlands, dressed in suitably medieval garb -- of course! And after listening to the {\Baroque} arrangements, minor-chord voicings, and even some of the lyrics to the likes of {&"Shadow of the Moon,"} {&"Under a Violet Moon,"} and {&"Morning Star,"} the leap from atop the {$Rainbow} to the bowels of a musky, Middle Ages pub may no longer seem as far-fetched. To some extent, this is the result of a fuller musical backdrop provided by the duo's well-rounded supporting cast (highlighted by violinist {$Chris Devine}), as compared to their at times rather spare studio efforts. But also easing what could be a difficult transition are occasional glimpses into {$Blackmore}'s past by way of {$Purple}'s {&"Soldier of Fortune"} and {$Rainbow}'s surprisingly apropos (and electrified) {&"16th Century Greensleeves."} See, it really isn't that big a stretch! Another plus for pure {$Blackmore} disciples is hearing the master shred his acoustic guitar during the beautiful {&"Beyond the Sunset."} And to earlier converts who may have yet to experience {$Blackmore's Night} in a live setting, {^Past Time with Good Company} will of course provide a perfect showcase. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Album Description

A very well-packaged and superbly compiled Japanese album highlighting some of the best material from each of {$Blackmore's Night}'s first three albums, {^Minstrels and Ballads} emphasizes the gentler side of the project. That it offers little of interest to the dyed-in-the-wool {$Deep Purple}/{$Rainbow} fanatic is no surprise -- even absolute neophytes will glance at the cover and digest the title, and know {$Blackmore's Night} delves deep into what modern marketing calls {\Celtic} and {\new age} pastures. However, {$Blackmore}'s long-renowned abilities are by no means dormant as he sacrifices volume and electricity for intricacy and warmth and, if {$Candice Night}'s vocals (not to mention her sometimes second-hand {$Stevie Nicks} imagery) can grow a little cloying when listened to protractedly, still there's enough dexterity on display to take your mind off her harsher extremes. Song-wise, the album breaks down via five songs from the duo's debut album, four from its sophomore effort, and five from 2001's {^Fires at Midnight} -- including that genre-bending reworking of {$Dylan}'s {&"The Times They Are a Changin'."} There's also (perhaps inevitably) an airing of {&"Greensleeves,"} a number that {$Blackmore} has had his eye on since at least the early days of {$Rainbow}, and which says as much about {$Blackmore's Night}'s versatility as any of the original songs -- maybe even more. Those other tracks, after all, are the sound of {$Blackmore} realigning old musical traditions to the capabilities of his own band. {&"Greensleeves"} is the genuine article, but loses nothing in its updating. If you already own (and love) any of the original {$Blackmore's Night} albums, {^Minstrels and Ballads} is an extravagance that you really don't require -- just run out and buy the rest of the catalog. Anybody wishing to venture for the first time into the duo's captivating land of castles and cauldrons, however, could find no better guide than this. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide
