This song is pretty good, reminds me a bit of Nightwish. It has a folksy sort of feel to it, and is pretty catchy, plus it has a nice, smooth solo in the middle. This is the first single from the upcoming Blackmore's Night album, Secret Voyage .

Imagine believing for 35 years that you have a certain song in your collection, only to find that for 35 years, you’ve been wrong. So it is with “Smoke on the Water.” I was certain I’d had it on vinyl since I was in high school. But as I was digging through our albums a while [...]
