Rainbow - Stranger In Us All - 1995



Stranger In Us All

The line-up is completely new, reprising none of Rainbow’s earlier members. Wisely going for a fresh start, Blackmore got together vocalist Doogie White, bassist Greg Smith, drummer John O’Reilly and keyboardist Paul Morris. With them, he revisited his classic blues-inspired hard rock sound, mixing it with a dose of medieval/mystical 70’s Rainbow. It was about the best thing he could have done.

01. Wolf To The Moon
02. Cold Hearted Woman
03. Hunting Humans (Insatiable)
04. Stand And Fight
05. Ariel
06. Too Late For Tears

11. Emotional Crime [Japanese bonus]

Rainbow - Down To Earth - 1979


Down to Earth

After making three stellar albums with Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore wanted to take a new approach with his band Rainbow. Dio exited the group and in came Graham Bonnet who started Blackmore's mission of hitting Top 40 on the charts. Bonnet brings in a more soulful and gruffer style to the band and fits the aptly titled “Down to Earth” perfectly.

Rainbow - Rising - 1976


Rising
1976′s Rising is probably their definitive album. A lot of it is bombastic and a bit overdone, but it rocks.The opening keyboards of “Tarot Woman” may make you shudder and think “Oh, my God, this is a fuckin’ Styx record!” but once the rest of the band joins in, any Styx-isms are thrown out the window. Rainbow were way heavier than Styx in every way possible.

Track Listing

01. Tarot Woman
02. Run With The Wolf
03. Starstruck
04. Do You Close Your Eyes
05. Stargazer
06. A Light In The Black
