For those who appreciate really good modern music, a mixture of old Renaissance-style tunes and instruments with modern rock interpretation, I've just had the real pleasure of discovering Blackmore's Night. The group is headed by Ritchie Blackmore, formerly of Deep Purple and a host of other groups, and the lead singer is his partner, Candice Night. The group's Web site is at http://www.blackmoresnight.com/ for those interested.
Their music is just fantastic! There are some examples on Youtube:
Renaissance Fair - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nl5mV1cDDw
Olde Mill Inn - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbhHRSyJ5s (a great drinking song)
Shadow Of The Moon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgV0iY9OlVU (wonderful!)
Child In Time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW2xQW25epM (a re-cover of Deep Purple's classic, ending in the Medieval tune 'Mond Tanz')
I'll Be There - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed6uyNqh-pY
Home Again - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjc2jQqQAqE (if this doesn't get your feet tapping, they've been amputated! )
Castles & Dreams DVD excerpt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vagyAsXxB3k (just watch Blackmore's fingering on the guitar!!!_
Minstrel Hall - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3m28hi-CVU (live - magnificent guitar work)
I hope you enjoy their music as much as I do!

I'll check it out. I like old Rainbow and Deep Purple a lot.
-
You know what would be cool? A double-bill with Ian Anderson and crewe...
-
VERY cool. Thanks for sharing. Richie Blackmore is the man but I wasn't aware of this project.
-
Awesome. Thanks, Preacherman. I always dug Deep Purple. Very cool that they cover "Child in Time." The old live version of that is amazing.
-
Thanks Man. With the new career in edjumacashun I've had no time to sniff out new music.

Brings back a few memories. Signature guitar, fusion of different styles. A little Fleetwood Mack, a little Stone Pony, even a few strains of Roger McGuinn and the Byrds.
Thanks for the rush of memories. Now where is my DP music?
