Candice Night And Marcus Nand Deliver The Terms For Surrender - The Rainbow Rocker Done Acoustic Style

Listen:

https://t.co/AzLVlaArBK

Los Angeles, California: As the clock continues ticking down to the June 19 release of Ride The Rainbow - The Ultimate Tribute To Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, one of the most powerful - yet, at the same time, delicate - performances on the entire album spins off as Rainbow’s latest single.

Long time followers of Ritchie’s post-Rainbow Blackmore’s Night will already know that vocalist Candice Night is no stranger to the Rainbow catalog - “Man On The Silver Mountain, “ Difficult To Cure” and “Temple Of The King” have all found a place in Blackmore’s Night’s live show over the years. And no matter who voiced Rainbow’s original, still Night made the song her own.

She’s done it again on Ride The Rainbow.  “I Surrender” was first heard on Difficult To Cure, Rainbow’s fifth album (from 1981) and their first to feature vocalist Joe Lynn Turner - who also appears on the tribute, alongside both his predecessor, Graham Bonnet and his successor, Doogie White.

Night and co-conspirator Marcus Nand, however, have a very different vision of Rainbow to those others, so much so that, alone among the 13 Rainbow classics selected for this tribute, “I Surrender” is the only song to be given two airings - the other, truly rocking storm, is voiced by Tim “Ripper” Owens (Judas Priest) and it’s be hard to imagine two greater extremes.  Picking favorites, on the other hand, is a lot tricker.

Night’s vocals, as mystic and magnificent as they ever are with Blackmore’s Night, offer the song an entire new lease of life - even those among of us who can sing along with every Rainbow song have probably never truly acknowledged the depths of emotion and tenderness that hallmark “I Surrender,” but - seemingly effortlessly - Night and Nand bring them sparkling into full view.   “I Surrender” (Acoustic Version) is, quote possibly, the most radical reimagining on the album… which, if you’ve listened to any of the past singles, is one helluva achievement.

@20th_Centurygal Your posts are always fun and engaging. I’ve discovered a lot of new music thanks to you (listened to Journey Captured on the way to the store this morning). Thank You!

[Ray M @fasb711]

@Mikehomeseller All of them are excellent but I tend to favor All The World’s A Stage because it was the album that introduced me to Rush. IMO, it has the most raw “live” feel to it, like you’re sitting in the tenth row!

Shadow Of The Moon, debut album by Blackmore’s Night, was released in Europe this day back in 1997! Royal, majestic, hypnotic and spiritual music that enriches heart and soul. This one started it all! @TruCandiceNight @TheRealRitchieB @BNOfficialsite #shadowofthemoon #renaissance

September 25th and 26th 1977 Fleetwood mac played two nights at the Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland, USA. WMMS radio station is also called 'The Buzzard', seen here with Fleetwood Mac's mascot. WMMS was always a very powerful and influential rock station and it still exists.

@20th_Centurygal @surfingexec I saw Alice Cooper in 1978 and again in 2015. He actually was better in 2015, that said the 1978 show was excellent too!
