In quite the rare moment, #DeepPurple co-founder #RitchieBlackmore dropped in to take us on an extraordinary journey through rock’s royal history: discussing the formation of the “Unholy Trinity of British Hard Rock and Heavy Metal” - (#LedZeppelin, Deep Purple and #BlackSabbath), and the Steve Wilson 2025 remix of Purple’s stately #MadeInJapan live album. Blackmore also remembers #OzzyOsbourne who died in July and the legacy of the #MoodyBlues following the death of their bassist #JohnLodge (who appeared on our show earlier this year).
“Jack the Riffer” as Ritchie is known, gave us the surprise of a lifetime by dropping in on our interview with his wonderful wife and Blackmore's Night bandmate #CandiceNight as she talked with us about her outstanding new solo album “Sea Glass.”
