Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...11/6/25
"That's been a while, at least five or six years," chuckled Candice Night of Blackmore's Night. "With "Winter Carols," we put one out originally and then there are so many amazing Christmas songs that we love that we didn't get a chance to put on so we recorded and put them out again and then a few years later we recorded again and put some more out (Laughs). So, that one has been out a bunch of times and I'm glad you brought that up because of course Winter is coming and so is Christmas time so it's always great to break out "Winter Carols" and listen to that one, especially over the next couple of months, there's lots of Christmas music to delve into. A lot of the songs are very, very old songs which of course is right up our alley so it's great to take some of those songs from the 1200s, 1300s, 1400s and moving all the way up and they fit right into the Blackmore's Night style of sound and our genre, whatever we've created is as far as our genre is but yeah, they fit perfectly at home so we love playing them, it's probably our favorite time of the year."
