Quite a good start to Ritchie Blackmore's latest band, although some parts are annoyingly poppy and melodic. That said, the acoustic guitars and flute work (on one song by no other than Ian Anderson!) incorporate very well indeed, giving off a very folky influence. This particular album is perhaps a little too long for its own good, but tere is plenty for fans of folk rock or even ritchie blackmore to get stuck into.

Really beautiful. She sings so well considering her singing is in such a low register. Also Ritchie's acoustic guitar work is wonderful, eventhough I personally prefer the songs with his electric guitars work. The flutes also sounds really good.
