Cleopatra Records has announced that “Ride The Rainbow – The Ultimate Tribute To Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow” will be released on June 19.
The legendary Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore’s powerful post-Deep Purple creation, gets a well-deserved celebration through this star-packed tribute album. It brings together no fewer than six former Rainbow members — Bob Daisley, Graham Bonnet, Don Airey, Joe Lynn Turner, Doogie White and Ronnie Romero.
The album also boasts standout contributions from major names across the rock and metal world, including Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row), Steve Morse (ex-Deep Purple), Angel, Mike Tramp of White Lion, and Rick Wakeman (ex-Yes), among others. Adding an extra touch of magic is a special appearance by Blackmore’s wife and Blackmore’s Night vocalist Candice Night.
The liner notes for “Ride The Rainbow – The Ultimate Tribute To Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow” were penned by Jason Myers of classic metal revivalists Icarus Witch.
