Having done his time in the hard rock and heavy metal worlds as the key guitarist in Deep Purple and Rainbow, Ritchie Blackmore has lately found a more comfortable niche making music with his wife, Candice Night. The duo explores an eclectic mix of new age and Celtic/Medieval progressive folk with an undertow of world beat. Dancer and the Moon also pays unique tribute to Blackmore's past, with the touching Deep Purple–like instrumental "Carry On…Jon" for keyboardist Jon Lord, his late Purple bandmate. Randy Newman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" gets a stunning overhaul, with Blackmore's incredible tone and technique adding a skyward push to Night's delicate read of the classic. Uriah Heep's "Lady in Black" is brought into full Technicolor with fluid flute work adding to the mystic vibe. "Temple of the King" reaches back to Blackmore's Rainbow days with Ronnie James Dio for a tune fully transformed by Night's gentle folk delivery.
