320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

The legendary RAINBOW, Ritchie Blackmore’s post-Purple juggernaut, receives its full flowers on this star-studded tribute album; “RIDE THE RAINBOW – The ​Ultimate ​Tribute to Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow“.
The tracklist, including RAINBOW classics such as ‘Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll’, ‘Man on the Silver Mountain’, ‘Stargazer’, Lady Of The Lake’, etc, features performances by no fewer than 6 RAINBOW alumni – Bob Daisley, Graham Bonnet, Don Airey, Joe Lynn Turner, Doogie White, and Ronnie Romero!
Also includes epic contributions from hard rock/ metal luminaries Sebastian Bach, Steve Morse, glam-pomp heroes Angel, White Lion’s Mike Tramp, Rick Wakeman, George Lynch, Mick Box, Vinny Appice,Paul Shortino, and more… Plus a very special appearance from Blackmore’s Night vocalist Candice Night.
The release adds full liner notes written by Jason Myers of classic metal revivalists Icarus Witch.

This all-star tribute album honors all chapters of the mighty RAINBOW legacy with a diverse cast of musicians, many of whom have lent their singular talents to the band over the course of its impressive five-decade run.

RAINBOW will forever be remembered as a rare group capable of commanding both smoky denim-clad arenas and fickle, difficult-to-conquer airwaves. The iconic band spanned the seemingly disparate genre gap between dragon rock and sophisticated pop metal… and back again.

This collection stands as both tribute and testament: to Ritchie Blackmore’s uncompromising vision, to the insanely talented vocalists who gave RAINBOW its many nuanced voices, and to a body of work that continues to inspire musicians and listeners half a century later.
Long after trends fade and scenes shift, RAINBOW’s music remains. majestic, melodic, and eternal.
