According to a press release, with a career spanning nearly two decades, the band of minstrels has gained crossover success all over the world with its new genre of "Ren And Rock” music. The lyrics are inspired by nature and the myths and fairy tales they encounter on their international travels. The melodies, composed and arranged by Blackmore, encompass musical structure and the essence of melodies from the early 1600s. Blackmore's Night's last album, Secret Voyage, debuted at #1 on the Billboard New Age Chart and held that spot for four consecutive weeks. Blackmore's Night has appeared nationwide on PBS and Discovery channel specials, and has been awarded the Best Album of the Year and Best Vocal Album of the year by NPR New Age Reporter for their past 7 studio CDs.

Autumn Sky brings 14 new Blackmore's Night songs, plus a cover of 'Celluloid Heroes' from THE KINKS.
