OFF: Blackmore's Knight

[Nick English]

For anyone who cares, I hear Blackmore's Knight will be
releasing its third album in June.

If you've never heard of them or heard them, you really
should.  It's Ritchie Blackmore and his girlfriend-
slash-lead singer Candace Knight.  It's mostly
acoustic, Rennaissance-type music, but Ritchie puts a
blues-rock edge on much of it.  Every now and then, He
even breaks out the old electric guitar and lets it
fly, too.

On their last album, "Under a Violet Moon", they even
did an all-acoustic version of the old Rainbow
tune "Self Portrait". . . it was really awesome.
