(5 Customer Reviews)
Blackmore's Night features the talents of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and vocalist Candice Night. Blackmore is best known for his work with the rock band Rainbow, and before that, the legendary group Deep Purple. However he has long since been ... Full Descriptioninterested in medieval and Renaissance music.
On UNDER A VIOLET MOON, Blackmore and Night blend together acoustic pop with English medieval music. To add an air of authenticity, they employ such instruments as a hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, pennywhistles, and vintage tambourines. However, Blackmore's guitar is the backbone of this music, and he accompanies Night with unerring sensitivity. Night sings in a relaxed mezzo-soprano on each piece. Most of all, listeners will enjoy following the lyrics, since each tune is centered on an exciting medieval tale. Highlights include the war song "March the Heroes Home," the wistful "Castles and Dreams," and the forlorn "Catherine Howard's Fate." On the latter, Night sings of heartbreak, betrayal, and lovesickness. Even though this melody is antiquated, and the lyric is sung in Middle English, this story is wholly universal. UNDER A VIOLET MOON is the perfect album for those who wish to dabble in light, non-academic period music.

Personnel includes: Ritchie Blackmore, Des Geyer Schwazer Haufen, Miri Ben-Ari, Jen Johannsen, Peter Ruth, Alex Alexander, Miguel Cervino, Rachael Birken, John Ford.

Wonderful music, excellent musicians Ritchie Blackmore is the best! And he has a congenial vocalist: Candice Night. It's a perfect combination between the perfect guitar play of Ritchie, the crystal voice of Candice and wonderful melodies, written by Ritchie Blackmore. Sit down, listen to the music and well-being growth in your mind. Submitted by franz.katzer (Vienna, Austria, Europe)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
My Opinion This is an album by B.N. that I had never heard before...absolutely outstanding! Blackmore is killer on guitar and Night has the voice of life...besides that, the rest of the band is extremely good at what they do. Very, very good music...

Good Not as good as their first album, but you still can find great songs here. buy this one! Submitted by Ahmed Hernandez Zahuna (Mexico City, MEXICO) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Truly original and perhaps an acquired taste... I like this album, though not one of Blackmore's Night best I believe. A cross between traditional/folk/rock/pop is the only way I know how to pretty much describe them. The vocals are excellent, especially the lead female vocalist- lovely, clear voice! Good variety of instruments and catchy tunes. I think you have to be more open-minded musically and like the above influences. It's unique and a good album overall.

| | Iron Maiden Flight 666: The Original Soundtrack CDs (2009)
Under A Violet Moon CD music
$15.64 The idea behind FLIGHT 666 was seemingly birthed from a WAYNE'S WORLD fantasy sequence: the mighty Iron Maiden would embark upon a world tour of exotic locales, transported to each venue in a custom 757 jet piloted by the band's lead singer, with scores of crew, journalists, and family members in tow. Surprisingly, the band not only pulled off the mind-boggling undertaking but delivered an extraordinary live album in the process. The FLIGHT 666 soundtrack compares favorably with the band's classic in-concert disc, LIVE AFTER ...

$20.05 After much debate and a labored attempt at completing his contributions to a new studio offering, a disenchanted Matt Barlow chose to step down as vocalist of power-metal veterans Iced Earth. Enter Tim "Ripper" Owens, who was eagerly awaiting a formal announcement that metal god Rob Halford had rejoined his then-band, Judas Priest. Anticipating the obvious (and long-rumored inevitable), Owens weighed a number of offers before joining forces with Iced Earth. He quickly helped them finish their recording, and enthusiastically joined their ranks.
