Blackmore rsquo;s Night has struck gold once again with Winter Carols. Candace Night and Ritchie Blackmore and their troupe make beautiful music together. One of their niches is the old-fashioned traditional carols and some of their own nifty originals like ldquo;Winter (Basse Dance) rdquo; and ldquo;Christmas Eve rdquo; make this recording a very special holiday treat this year.
The renaissance sound is all part of the Blackmore rsquo;s Rainbow repertoire and Candace Night has the perfect high angelic voice to accompany Blackmore rsquo;s folk and electric (although seldom) guitar journeys.
I feel in love with the music of Blackmore rsquo;s Night all the way back to their first album and now this holiday gift just melted my heart and made me feel all warm and spiritual. I know it may sound all squishy and fluffy but it is true.
This is one the best Christmas albums I have ever heard and it will remain one of my yearly favorites for years to come.
This particular promo copy gave me offerings of ldquo;Christmas Eve rdquo; the radio edit version and full version along with the full version of ldquo;Wish You Were Here, rdquo; which is also part of the main album rsquo;s sequence. I also received a promo copy for the album including four tracks and the video version of ldquo;Christmas Eve, rdquo; which is as enchanting as the song itself.
