November 19, 2006, 18 years ago
BLACKMORE'S NIGHT's new holiday album, Winter Carols, has entered the Billboard New Age Chart at #7. Candice Night commented about the album recently: "The holiday season has always embodied joy, love, peace, togetherness. The sentiments of the holidays are what we try to express in our music.”
Ritchie Blackmore (ex-DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW) adds: “The origin of the word carol means ‘dance’ back in the mid 1500s. Most of the Christmas Carols are from the 1400s, 1500s, 1600s. They are brilliant melodies. I am naturally attracted to these melodies – as a kid of 10, 11, 12, I would go from house to house during the holiday time and sing them just to earn some money. Now, as an adult, I thought I could play them and make more money.”
