Run With The Wolf

In Run with the Wolf: Rainbow on Record, Martin Popoffalso author of Sensitive to Light: The Rainbow Story, as well as multiple books on Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Dioassembles a panel of interested interviewees in celebration of Ritchie Blackmores legendary band Rainbow, one album at a time, every song considered. The sacred texts discussed are 1975s Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow, 1976s Rising, 1978s Long Live Rock n Roll, 1979s Down to Earth, 1981s Difficult to Cure, 1982s Straight Between the Eyes, 1983s Bent Out of Shape and 1995s Stranger in Us All. Look for debates on the comparative value of the bands four different singers (Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White), along with ponderings on production, lyrics, Ritchies solos, favourite keyboard flourishes, Cozy Powells sound and style and then finally, what is the deal with Stranger in Us All?! Popoff uses the celebrated structure used on similar previous titles embracing the works of The Cure, Blue yster Cult, Robert Plant and Thin Lizzy, with Martin serving as pull-no-punches moderator and presenting the panels arguments in easy-to-read Q&A format. It is the authors hope that by the end of this quite scholarly exercise, every last moat-metal Rainbow fan will find multiple new ways to approach and enjoy this classic catalogue.
