Bio:
Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow) were a British rock band controlled by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore from 1975 to 1984 and 1994 to 1997. They were originally established with American rock band Elf's members,but Blackmore fired all the members except Ronnie James Dio who would leave in 1979.Three British musicians joined in 1979, singer Graham Bonnet, keyboardist Don Airey, former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, and this line-up gave the band their commercial breakthrough with the single "Since You Been Gone". Over the years Rainbow went through many line-up changes with no two studio albums featuring the same line-up. Other lead singers Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White would follow, and the project consisted of numerous backing musicians. The band started out combining mystical lyric themes with neo-classical metal, but went in a more streamlined commercial style following Dio's departure from the group.Rainbow were ranked No. 90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.The band has sold over 28 million albums worldwide and 4 million albums in the United States.
Album:
Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of this Rock classic. Released in 1976 and produced by Deep Purple's engineer and producer, Martin Birch, Rising was a much stronger album to its predecessor, containing the Rainbow classic, 'Stargazer' and further solidly performed tracks such as, 'A Light In The Black' and the unusually short n' catchy. 'Do You Close Your Eyes'. With stunning artwork by Marvel comics fantasy artist, Ken Kelly, Rising went on to achieve formidable chart success reaching #48 in the U.S. and an impressive #6 in the U.K. This was the album that saw Rainbow equaling anything that Blackmore's previous band, Deep Purple had ever produced. This edition of the album, adds a mouth watering raft of bonus tracks with Disc One containing both the New York and Los Angeles mixes of the entire album, whilst Disc Two contains previously unreleased rough mixes of all the album tracks along with three tour rehearsal versions.Rising (also known as Rainbow Rising) is the second studio album by the British hard rock band Rainbow, released in 1976. In issue 4 of Kerrang! magazine (cover-dated October 1981), Rising was voted the greatest heavy metal album of all time. In 2017, it was ranked 48th at Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".
