Crate Digger’s Corner: Ritchie’s Blackmore’s Rainbow (Polydor, 1975)

Crate Digger’s Corner…by DJ Musically Rich

(If you’d like to listen to a track from the album as you read, go to the end of the post to start the song)

This week in Crate Digger’s Corner I take a listen to my vinyl copy of the 1975 debut album from Ritchie Blackmore, the former (at this point in time in 1975) Deep Purple guitarist. It’s a very uneven album with plenty of highs, but unfortunately a number of lows as well. He had left Deep Purple (which he founded) after leading them into a more commercial direction as the band he founded headed from the late ‘60s into the ‘70s. With Rainbow he wanted to get back to the harder rocking (at times verging on progressive nature) of the early Mark I version of Deep Purple.

The album starts off on the right foot with the instantly recognizable, crunchy guitar riff of ‘Man On The Silver Mountain’. That would be the biggest song that Rainbow released as you can still hear that one on regularly on classic rock radio stations today. With a nice guitar solo weaved into the middle of the song, it sets the stage for something somewhat unexpected. The next three songs on side 1 don’t make the cut. ‘Self Portrait’ and ‘Black Sheep Of The Family’ are forgettable. ‘Catch The Rainbow’ is by far the biggest offender on the album. A slow ballad that plays out over nearly 7 long minutes that sounds like they were sitting around listening to Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Little Wing’ on repeat for a week before writing the song. Unfortunately, the song (at twice the length) doesn’t carry the same depth either musically or lyrically that Hendrix’s elegant song had.

Side 2 does begin to turn things around. ‘Snake Charmer’ is a charged up rocker anchored by a “wah” tinged guitar riff, great playing and a biting guitar solo. That leads to the weak point on the second side, ‘The Temple Of The King’. The song drags as it moves along at a slower mid-tempo pace which makes it feel like a long five minutes. ‘If You Don’t Like Rock ‘n’ Roll’ is a quick, fun tune, complete with a killer boogie piano solo in the middle. A solid ‘Sixteenth Century Greensleeves’  leads to the final song, a killer instrumental, ‘Still I’m Sad’. It starts off with the band revving up to full force over a driving rhythm on the cowbell. Blackmore’s guitar playing is excellent throughout this song as he leads the band to its finest moment on the album.

I don’t think Ritchie Blackmore quite lived up to getting back to his harder rocking sound overall on this debut album, however there are a number of high points that show the direction he was going. Rainbow finally found the sound they were looking for on their excellent follow-up album “Rising”. The unevenness of this album will lead this one to go into the sale pile.

Stars: 2.5/5

Available on: LP/CD/Cass/8-Trk
