Live long an’ rock ‘n’ roll!
Look for loads of great new takes (some of
them hot) across a heft 308 pages. Here’s
the hype on ‘er. Loads of memorabilia shots,
plus the eight-page colour section is
particularly nice.
Live long an’ rock ‘n’ roll! In Run with the
Wolf: Rainbow on Record, Martin Popoff—also
author of Sensitive to Light: The Rainbow
Story, as well as multiple books on Deep
Purple, Black Sabbath and Dio—assembles a
panel if interested interviewees in
celebration of Ritchie Blackmore’s legendary
band Rainbow, one album at a time, every
song considered.
The sacred texts discussed are 1975’s
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, 1976’s Rising,
1978’s Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll, 1979’s Down
to Earth, 1981’s Difficult to Cure, 1982’s
Straight Between the Eyes, 1983’s Bent Out
of Shape and 1995’s Stranger in Us All.
Look for debates on the comparative value of
the band’s four different singers (Ronnie
James Dio, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner
and Doogie White), along with ponderings on
production, lyrics, Ritchie’s solos,
favourite keyboard flourishes, Cozy Powell’s
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 Öyster Cult, Robert Plant
and Thin Lizzy, with Martin serving as
pull-no-punches moderator and presenting the
panel’s arguments in easy-to-read Q&A
format. It is the author’s 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.
