Ft. Ronnie James Dio |
| | Description: | Digitally remastered edition. As a singer, songwriter and performer, Ronnie James Dio made game-changing, genre-defining music with Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own band, Dio. But not everyone will know that prior to 1975's Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow debut, Ronnie had been part of his own rock band Elf for three LPs during the first half of the 1970s. Founded by Ronnie on bass guitar as well as lead vocals, and going by his birth name Padavona, he was originally joined by his guitarist cousin David "Rock" Feinstein (later of The Rods), and future, fellow Rainbow members Mickey Lee Soule on piano and Gary Driscoll on drums. Coming to the attention of Epic Records in the States, ELF's 1972 debut was co-produced by none other than Deep Purple's bassist Roger Glover and drummer Ian Paice, then the hottest rock property on either side of the Atlantic. Produced by Roger Glover alone, the band signed to Deep Purple's own Purple Records imprint for their second album, Carolina County Ball (known as LA 59 outside of the UK), and took to the road supporting Deep Purple on their 1974 Burn tour. Among the nine originals penned by Ronnie with keyboard player Mickey Lee Soule, is tellingly a song called 'Rainbow'. This version features a brand new and extensive liner note by Classic Rock and Metal Hammer's Malcolm Dome, based on new interviews conducted with producer Roger Glover, photographer Fin Costello, and Elf bandmates Mickey Lee Soule and David "Rock" Feinstein. | | | No. of tracks: |

Yuriy P. - 10/Jun/2025  Some time after the release of their debut album, Elf was noticed. And it was none other than Deep Purple themselves who noticed them! Inspired by the band's music, the kings of hard rock took the young talents on tour. Needless to say, this meeting changed Elf's fate dramatically? Firstly, on the advice of his new friend, Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie Dio replaced guitarist David Feinstein with the more experienced Steve Edwards. Secondly, the maestro focused only on singing and bassist Craig Gruber was accepted into the band. And thirdly, due to production by Glover and Paice, the budget for recording the second album was significantly increased. As a result, "Carolina County Ball" sounds much better than the debut, the band's arsenal now includes brass instruments and female backing vocals. Only the style remained unchanged - we have the same retro hard rock, with simple lyrics and zero meaning. Apparently, due to the good control of the masters of their craft, there are almost no bad songs on the disc. The cheerful and energetic action songs "L.A. 79" or "Annie New Orleans" are guaranteed to cure a bad mood. The melodic slow "Rainbow" (the title is in the style of a prophecy, don't you think?) brings extremely pleasant thoughts. Well, the differently tempo epic "Rocking Chair Rock 'N' Roll Blues" and the simply magnificent title track, containing many jazz elements, stand out especially. So, the patronage of the "big brothers" from Deep Purple is noticeable to the naked eye. The irony of fate - it seems that Purple helped Elf, but the near future will show that the group's collapse happened precisely because of comrade Blackmore. Well, "Carolina County Ball" can be considered the best work of the Elfs.
