Free Music Review: Ritchie Blackmore Never Fails To Make Amazing Music...
Hit: 5 Stars
Thanks to Amazon.com, I was able to find the new holiday album, WINTER CAROLS, by one of my favourite artists and one of my favourite bands...Blackmore's Night.
I looked everywhere for it, from my local record store to places like Barnes & Noble and Borders...both usually having Blackmore's Night albums in stock.
I have all of their CD's, and WINTER CAROLS is just another quality album among their masterworks. I was so pleased with their last original album, VILLAGE LANTERNE, that I knew this was going to be a sure thing.
All of the songs are beautiful, with that Renaissance sound that Mr. Blackmore has perfected. With such classics as "Hark The Herald Angels Sing," "Good King Wenceslas," and "We Three Kings," it makes the holidays much brighter and jollier. My favourite track is the majestic "Emmanuel." And of course, there are a few originals, most notably the wonderful "Christmas Eve."
If you have the Blackmore's Night collection, you HAVE to have this one...
Free Music Review: Winter Carols by a Rock God
Hit: 5 Stars
Ritchie Blackmore is best known for his days as lead guitarist in Deep Purple, Rainbow and such wonderful bands as I grew up with in the 70s. Imagine, therefore, my surprise to learn of this album and the band Blackmore's Night on an Amazon namesearch. Teaming with singer Candice Night, Blackmore and this band perform some well loved Christmas music in a semi traditional style with a predominantly folk rock feel. The production quality is excellent, the album has a cheerful feel to it and it is extremely pleasant to listen to. For traditional Blackmore fans this is not what you would expect from the man but it is interesting to hear him in an entirely different environment. This is my first exposition to Blackmore's night and the disk has been put away for next Christmas (my wife loves it!) but I will be checking out their other albums over the course of the year. Well, well worth a listen.

I am a new listener to Blackmore's Night. Recently I was looking for some Christmas music for my iPod when I discovered Blackmore's Night's Christmas album WINTER CAROLS. What a treasure WINTER CAROLS turned out to be for me. Whenever I think of Ritchie Blackmore, I think of his hard rock work with Deep Purple. Blackmore's Night is such a contrast to his hard rock days in the '60s and '70s. I immensely enjoyed listening to Candice Night's delicate vocals set to Ritchie's acoustic compositions. There is not a single song on the cd that I did not like. This cd really puts the holiday spirit in me. I rarely buy Christmas cds but I really think WINTER CAROLS is one of the best Christmas cds I have ever heard.Free Music Review: Just good music.

Although I am a big Blackmore's Night fan, you don't have to be a BN fan to love this cd. I have played this cd when my in-laws were around at Xmas and Thanksgiving. They made comments on how beautiful the music was and would sing along to the songs they knew.
Candice's voice is simply beautiful and blends in so well with the musical arrangements played by the band. I cannot say enough about how great this music is. I only hope that they will come out with another Xmas album in the near future. This is by far my favorite holiday album ever.
Free Music Review: Surprisingly great album!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent album for anyone who is getting sick of the more traditional Christmas music. Blackmore's Night does some very original-sounding renditions of Christmas songs with great instrumentation. The ocharina on "I Saw Three Ships" is particularly enchanting. This album includes "Wish You Were Here," which was a pleasant surprise. I lent this album to a friend and didn't get it back, which I would take as a positive endorsement...
