The Boston Herald spoke with DEEP PURPLE/RAINBOW guitar legend Ritchie Blackmore recently about a number of topics including his BLACKMORE'S NIGHT project.
“I didn’t embark on this project intending it to be successful,” Blackmore says. “I just have an incredible passion for this kind of music and wanted to do it. During my final days in Deep Purple and Rainbow, I felt I was getting stale at writing hard-rock riffs, that I was repeating myself, and I just couldn’t stand it. So switching to this was rejuvenating, very refreshing."
