Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio on vocals was my great inspiration. The combination of Ritchie Blackmore's guitar, the enormous power of Ronnie James Dio combined with the mystical lyrics had and still have me enchanted. This nearly hidden gem (Rainbow Eyes) from Long live Rock and Roll is a foresight to what Ritchie Blackmore was about to do 20 years later. I decided to do a full cover of it. Really liked rerecording all the different parts of the song, was quit a job to find out what all the strings and flute were playing, but it's all part of the joy. Hope you like it. Here's a full cover of Rainbow eyes by Rainbow, with a video to add some flavour to the story. All instruments, vocals, editing, mixing and videocomposition yours truly. Enjoy!
