Ritchie Blackmore - The Story Of The Man In Black

Review by Rene Millward

The album "The Story Of The Man In Black" by Ritchie Blackmore is a remarkable tribute to the legendary musician Johnny Cash. The album is a perfect blend of Blackmore's exceptional guitar skills and Cash's iconic vocals, making it a must-listen for fans of both musicians.

The album consists of 12 tracks, each of which tells a different story from Cash's life. Blackmore's guitar riffs and solos are perfectly complemented by Cash's soulful voice, creating a mesmerizing blend of rock and country music.

The album starts with the track "Folsom Prison Blues," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track "Ring of Fire" is another standout, with Blackmore's guitar adding a unique touch to the classic song. The album also includes lesser-known tracks like "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" and "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer," which are given a new life with Blackmore's guitar.

Summary by Rene Millward

"The Story Of The Man In Black" is a fantastic album that pays tribute to one of the greatest musicians of all time. Blackmore's guitar work is exceptional, and Cash's vocals are as powerful as ever. It is a must-listen for anyone who loves rock, country, or both.
