Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Honestly, this makes for more satisfying listening!:

Verily & forsooth, for in times past the mainstay player of this band originally got his runs on the board after he received the nod from ye olde purplified plank spanker!… or so the story goes. 🎸🃏
“And the whole world gives back the song.” The whole world is giving back this version cuz it stinks.

November 21st, 2020 at 09:44Music is not way to prove stubberness it’s a way of creating a bond and the more this bond disappear the more you will know its over.
Peace
You know exactly what to expect from Candice & Ritchie.
November 21st, 2020 at 14:59Any attempt at Christmas spirit is to be applauded in 2020, but I couldn’t get thru the full song.
How boring can a song be! This surely competes. Maybe we have a winner. This is one of those compositions that Mr Blackmore and his companion are able to produce at least fifteen pieces a day.
November 22nd, 2020 at 10:41it’s the same since the first album. leave this nonsense of folklore for those who know
November 22nd, 2020 at 20:04I’ve heard her somewhat older guitarist/musical director was – unlikely as it may seem – once in a rock band? Was it Led Zeppelin?
Sigh. Ritchie used to smash Strats. Or cameras. Now he seems intent on smashing his legacy with fluff like this. And it’s not about how many notes per minute or whether he plays hard rock or not, it’s about his lack of ambition to still create something lasting. This is not folk. It’s not even pop. It’s musical candy floss, a unicorn drawing for children.
My wife just laughed: “You suffer when you hear that, am I right?” She is. : – (

I have to come up to the defense of folk rock!!! Properly done, it can really be something – and not bland or twee at all.

Carmen – Ritchie adored that band in the 70ies and saw it as further proof for the general decline of the music business that they were unsuccessful (perhaps too ahead of their time). He also tried to poach their bassist, the late John Glascock, for Rainbow, albeit only after Carmen’s demise, when John hat joined Jethro Tull. He wouldn’t leave Ian Anderson’s lot though.
November 24th, 2020 at 02:38I don’t listen to Blackmore’s little side show, haven’t since early 2002. I am here purely out of curiosity of what people are saying. I remember Blackmore saying something along the lines of “it’s the same old crap” when asked about a new album, many years ago now. Enough said there eh?
November 24th, 2020 at 23:39Not sure why some commenting here who don’t like whatever this ‘new’ xmas jingle is, are baffled? Blackmore’s legacy will never be diminished simply because very few would be aware of his court jestering, for want of a better analogy. Many more have & do remember his DP & classic Rainbow output though. It is set in stone!
In regards to Carmen & other wonderful folk & more traditional artists, Blackmore wouldn’t last 2 seconds with those quality players. Unless as his past seems to say, he could ‘use’ them for a short while, they wouldn’t put up with him though, one would think. Blackmore working with European tradition Gaelic & Latin etc. Never! He chose the shallower path, for obvious reasons.
John Glascock, bless him. He did play the ultimate gig in many ways, Tull in their prime. It doesn’t get any better than that. RIP.
This is a year of agony in so many ways and he just doesnt quit this baliney.
Could have gathered in 4 years time a collection of reworked tracks.
Even considering I m not a Romero the Toreador, I could listen to his rendition of Black sheep of in the family.
December 10th, 2020 at 16:30Just hammer out 12 songs like that as a solace for us old geezers…..you know.
I agree with almost every comment above….its just the same old crap!!
December 11th, 2020 at 10:10Yes even you… rock voone 🙂 reworked, unplugged Purple, ANYTHING but this legacy destroying “fluff”!
