Rising (also known as Rainbow Rising) is the second hard rock/heavy metal album by Rainbow, released in 1976. With Ritchie Blackmore retaining only Ronnie James Dio from the previous album, he recruited drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Jimmy Bain and keyboard player Tony Carey to complete the new line-up. Recorded in Munich in less than a month, the album was overseen by rock producer and engineer Martin Birch. The record was originally billed as Blackmore’s Rainbow in the US. The album showpiece is the 8 minute and 26 second piece “Stargazer”, which features the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra. Few of the album tracks made it into the band’s live set: “Stargazer” and “Do You Close Your Eyes” , written prior to the inaugural US tour in late 1975, featured in all the 1975 and 1976 shows, while “A Light in the Black” was dropped early in the 1976 tour, although it was reintroduced into the set during the Japanese dates. “Starstruck” was played in shortened form usually as part of “Man On The Silver Mountain”. Rising peaked at #48 on Billboard’s Pop Albums chart. In the UK it would peak at #6. In issue 1 of ‘Kerrang!’ magazine, Rising was voted as the #1 album of all time All Music Review On their second release, Rainbow not only avoid the sophomore jinx; they hit a home run. After replacing the entire band (except Ronnie James Dio) immediately following the recording of the first album, Ritchie Blackmore and the Rising lineup (Blackmore; Dio; Tony Carey, keys; Jimmy Bain, bass; and the late, great Cozy Powell, drums) had plenty of time on the road touring the first album to get the chops and material together for their second. In particular, “Stargazer” really came together on the 1975 tour and featured stunning keyboard work from Carey. The material is uniformly strong, with “Starstruck” and “A Light in the Black” standing out in particular. Ronnie Dio turns in a great vocal on the stunningly direct (under three minutes!) “Do You Close Your Eyes.” All six songs on the album are up there with anything the band has done, before or since. The playing has a very tight, colorful feel to it, which was lacking a bit on the first record. This album can legitimately be mentioned in the same breath as classic Deep Purple. Related Torrents
