Frontiers Music presents All Our Yesterdays, the tenth studio album from Blackmores Night, the worlds number one Renaissance act and one of the most popular folk-rock bands in the world. Blackmores Night vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Candice Night says, Theres a theme to All Our Yesterdays chosen songs that focuses on the attitude of living in the present, and looking toward the future, because we are, indeed, enriched by our past. My main theme and inspiration has always been nature and folklore from around the world.
Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmores lives and creative journeys have taken them through different characters and songs from a variety of times in history. That is part of the attitude in the song Where Are We Going from Here, about a traveling minstrels journey through life and age. The title track (and also the first single), All Our Yesterdays echoes the sounds of Candices Russian roots, while a new song written by Germanys George Hesse is an old-style, fiddle-driven instrumental with the Welsh title Allan yn y Fan (meaning Out There). Ritchies heritage includes family from Wales.
The album also includes stunning instrumentals: the acoustic guitar piece, Queens Lament and the dramatic The Darker Shade of Black that spotlights violin and guitar. Elsewhere on the recording, Earth Wind and Sky is a delicate ode to nature. The Other Side, a latter-day folk dance joins two jigs that Candice sings: Coming Home and the supernatural-themed, Will o the Wisp.
All Our Yesterdays gets further inspiration from Candace and Ritchies home town, where they take part in community folk nights during which the neighbors share guitars and songs, and sing melodies that have come from a variety of times in their own history. Thats how they fell in love with songs of various radio formats of years gone by. The album includes the Linda Ronstadt hit Long Long Time (penned by Gary White); the Mike Oldfield song, Moonlight Shadow; and an inspiring Maypole Dance treatment of Sonny & Chers I Got You Babe.
