in June on Frontiers Records Blackmore’s Night is releasing their brand new album
Dancer and the Moon follows the band’s eclectic/jam/folk rock/new age/neo-Celtic/neo-Medieval/progressive rock/chamber pop/world beat styling. Take your pick from the songwriting team of Candice and Ritchie: the acoustic “Somewhere Over the Sea (The Moon Is Shining), the rocking track “The Moon Is Shining (Somewhere Over The Sea),” which you can dance to, along with the title track “Dancer and the Moon,” the nature-inspired “The Last Leaf” and the Russian-influenced “Troika.”
Blackmore’s Night own their versions of classic rock chestnuts: Randy Newman’s “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” Uriah Heep’s “Lady In Black,” and “The Temple of the King” that Ritchie and the late Ronnie James Dio collaborated on originally for their band Rainbow. The album is made complete with its inspiring instrumentals, including the waltzy “Galliard” and the Deep Purple-esque “Carry On… Jon,” that Ritchie wrote as a heartfelt tribute to his former band mate, the late Jon Lord.
Dancer and the Moon is a distinctive album, that is both melodic, rhythmic, and full of classic influences led by the dynamic and signature alto vocals of Candice Night and the phenomenal fret work of Ritchie Blackmore.
