For this week's Purple Friday we celebrate a hugely important milestone for the Deep Purple family and entire history of rock music as we know it. On Sunday May 17th, it's going to be exactly half of century since the release of one of the greatest rock albums, Rainbow's second record "Rising". As much as Deep Purple crafted the fast driven heavy rock in 1970, "Rising" raise the bar even higher. Ritchie Blackmore single-handedly created a whole new sub genre, later called neo-classical rock. Fusing heavy British riffs with the medieval and mystical connotations, the album paved a way for many world renowned bands who praise the album as one of the main influence in their career. The album also debuted now the iconic Mark 2 lineup which included Ronnie James Dio as the vocalist and main lyricist, Cozy Powell on drums, Jimmy Bain on bass and Tony Carey on keyboards. In honour of the record's celebration we share a compilation of archived interviews from each original members of said Mark 2 lineup, talking about the process of recording the timeless masterpiece that is "Rainbow Rising".
