Here We Come A-Caroling, Blackmore's Night (earMusic)

blackmore2.jpgYou'll probably remember Richie Blackmore as the lead guitarist of Deep Purple during their most popular period in the 1970s, and that he has been with Blackmore's Night, featuring vocalist Candice Night, for many years now, and they did a 2004 Christmas EP that turned into a 2006 holiday album that's since been reissued a few times. As with the previous releases, this four-song EP features four antique carols rendered in a modernized version of English folk music, making this good Renaissance Faire material but not so much fun for rock fans. Nevertheless, if you're hankering for this sort of thing, you get the title song, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and "Silent Night." Per Amazon's listing, CD and vinyl copies are pretty pricey, so you may want to just download or stream this.
