Jan. 14th, 2008 02:36 pmLast year, thanks to iTunes, I discovered a group called Blackmore's Night, popular on the US and European rennie circuit. The guitarist was incredible, and then I learned he had been in the British rock band Deep Purple. His guitar playing and Candice Night's singing raise them above just being a rennie band into a really great group. My favorite song is "Home Again" which I found in this video on Youtube. My only complaint is the setting. Palm trees just don't mix with the song :) It should be an old tavern, with a roaring fire in the fireplace, and everyone with a tankard of ale, serving wenches bringing platters of cheese and bread, and off in the corner a stranger in a hooded cloak drawing on an elaborately carved long-stemmed pipe. No wait, wrong movie.
