For a decade, award winning singer/songwriter Candice Night, legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, and their fellow band of minstrels, have crafted an enchanting folk/rock sound with Renaissance overtones that has earned them the devotion of fans around the globe. On November 6, 2007 Blackmore’s Night will release Paris Moon, a long-form concert DVD/CD shot September 20, 2006 at Paris, France’s famed Olympia.
Over the course of five internationally charting studio albums, several live and compilation releases, numerous awards and many sold-out tours around the planet, they have truly perfected their signature blend of music.
Following his global success as Deep Purple and Rainbow’s guitarist and main composer, Ritchie Blackmore changed his musical form of expression in the mid-‘90s to co-found Blackmore’s Night with instrumentalist/lyricist/lead vocalist Candice Night.
Blackmore’s Night has fascinated its steadily growing fan community since 1997 with wonderful vocal melodies and evocative guitar parts. Its debut album, Shadow Of The Moon, stayed on the German charts for 17 weeks and went gold in Japan. The band toured churches, opera houses, theatres and castles all over the world.
1999’s Under A Violet Moon entered high in the European and Japanese Billboard charts, being voted “Best Vocal Album Of The Year” in the USA by National Public Radio. 2001’s Fires At Midnight went to #9 in Germany and #20 in Japan. Past Times With Good Company (2002), the first live album, and Ghost Of A Rose (2003), preceded Beyond The Sunset – The Romantic Collection (2004), a retrospective of beautiful ballads from the early years, again voted “Best Vocal Album Of The Year” in the USA by NPR. Castles And Dreams, the first DVD, aired on PBS throughout the USA in 2006 and 2007. In 2006, The Village Lanterne brought the band back into the Top 20 album charts worldwide.
The band continues to tour around the globe.

I thought these guys were long finished? Who knew! Their 7th studio album is called Afterwords and features the new single, “Hollywood”. Check out the video and some of the new tunes below and read a few notes that lead singer Ed Roland has on the album:

COLLECTIVE SOUL - “Hollywood”
Audio:
COLLECTIVE SOUL - “Hollywood”
COLLECTIVE SOUL - “All That I Know”
COLLECTIVE SOUL: “New Vibration”
Here’s what Ed Roland has to say about Collective Soul and the band’s new album, Afterwords:
- On the art of the three minute pop song: “I don’t ever time my songs and it’s a joke among the band because I’ll say, ‘I wonder how long that is?’ And they’ll all go, ‘Three, three-and-a-half minutes.’ Maybe it’s attention deficit disorder. There’s nothing wrong with a long song. I just can’t write them.”
- On the song, “You’re All That I Know”: “That’s basically about my wife. We’ve been married a little over a year. She’s a wonderful woman. She changed my outlook on life and it’s my way of telling her she’s the one. ‘You’re all that I know when the sun goes down/ You’re all that I know when the sun comes rising like that devil in me.’ ”
- On the song, “Good Morning After All”: “That one I wrote for my Mom. The strength she showed us during the time when we lost our father. You keep going. What keeps her going is her faith. ‘You wake just to crawl/You stand just to fall/ But you say good morning after all.’ ”
- AFTERWORDS is available exclusively at Target and iTunes
The Bees are a Folk/Rock band out of the UK and don’t get much coverage at all in the States. Its too bad, they’re an original and talented band that have some great songs. I must admit I hadn’t heard of these guys until I saw this video, which is pretty awesome, and I liked it enough to search them out and listen to the whole of their new album. The video is a crazy combination of animation and the band members playing their instruments whilst cruising around in a magic bus… You gotta see it:
Ah Liam… never one to shy away from ridiculous statements! Apparently work in Oasis’ 7th studio album has been going swimmingly and the band is aiming for an August 2008 release. Liam Gallagher sounds pretty confident when he says things like “without a doubt” this untitled album would compare with The Beatles’ “Revolver” and The Rolling Stones’ “Beggars Banquet”, both being the 7th albums of their respective careers. He went on to explain this a bit more by saying “there’s lots of cool parts” and “really, we’re throwing everything at it”… right.
I love Oasis, and they’ve actually put out some great music recently, but Liam is a nutcase. Read more on the new albums development and Liam’s insanity HERE from Billboard.com
