And although Rainbow's 1975 debut was only a hint of future greatness, the album more than holds its own.\n\u003cbr\u003eElf was led by dramatic metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who seemed to connect with Blackmore in quite a chemical fashion. \"Man on the Silver Mountain\" is prime material, as is the six-minute blues-metal classic \"Catch the Rainbow.\" Dio's shining vocals, shown to great effect here, have been emulated by hard rock vocalists throughout the years. \"The Temple of the King\" is another highlight, showcasing Blackmore's emotional guitar licks. \"Sixteenth Century Greensleeves\" is the group's ode to medieval times. \"Still I'm Sad\" is an instrumental jam that closes the album. Blackmore's fretwork, while speedy, comes from the heart. Although Rainbow's incarnations would change through the years, the drive and energy of the original lineup holds a special place in hard rock history. A worthy purchase for the connoisseurs of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1999-04-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1999-04-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RAINBOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222217318515,"sku":"WG53B5-3MMZ-BK","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/rainbow-ritchie-blackmores-rainbow_MXrKz.jpg?v=1783833925","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/rainbow-ritchie-blackmores-rainbow","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
