Listen to Ritchie Blackmore’s first new Rainbow song in 22 years
More than two decades since the release of their last single ‘Ariel’, Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow released their brand new song ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ on Friday (26th May).
A purely instrumental track centring on Ritchie’s guitar, ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ is a reworking of the 1902 British patriotic song of the same name from Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1.
On the same day, Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow also released their reworking of the Russ Ballard penned 1981 Rainbow classic ‘I Surrender’ with new vocals recorded by current singer Ronnie Romero.
You can listen to both tracks below:
