As they get ready to release their new full-length album Nature's Light is early 2021, Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night present this new holiday themed EP Here We Come A-Caroling, which contains four vibrant songs that are sure to get you in a festive spirit for the upcoming season. More of a stripped down affair compared to normal Blackmore's Night releases, this one features Ritchie on guitars and mandolin, Candice on vocals, recorder, tambourine, along with the Minstrel Hall Consort. All traditional compositions, the duo lend their magical talents to "Silent Night", "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", a gorgeous "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and the upbeat, fun title track. As always, Candice's vocals are lovely, and The Man in Black lends his nimble acoustic guitar and mandolin coloring over all these songs. It might only be 10-minutes of music all told, but it's a fun 10-minutes to add to your holiday listening collection.
