Hear Sebastian Bach, Bob Daisley, Mick Box, Jonathan Cain, Doug …

As we eagerly await the release of Ride The Rainbow – The Ultimate Tribute To Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow on June 19th, Cleopatra Records has revealed the final single from the compilation. Sebastian Bach, the former Skid Row frontman and current Twisted Sister lead vocalist, delivers an electrifying performance of Man On The Silver Mountain – a classic Rainbow track from their groundbreaking debut album released in 1975, which has remained a fan favorite for years.

Joining Bach on this tribute album are Rainbow’s own Bob Daisley, Uriah Heep’s Mick Box, Journey’s Jonathan Cain, and Whitesnake’s Doug Aldrich. Legendary drummer Carmine Appice, known for his work with Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck Bogert & Appice, and Rod Stewart, shares that he was almost a member of Rainbow himself.

“I was supposed to be in Rainbow back in the day,” Appice revealed. “Ritchie asked me to be in it, but I couldn’t do it, so I was very pleased to play on this track. I love all the musicians, too — they are all fantastic players and all good friends. So this track kicks ass!”

Jonathan Cain, who contributed keyboards to the tribute project, also expressed his enthusiasm for Rainbow. “When Cleopatra asked me to play on a Rainbow tribute project, I was excited to add my keyboards to it,” Cain shared. “Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio were one of the truly melodic and memorable metal bands. I got to party with him towards the end of his touring days after a Sweden Rock Festival. His soaring voice and melodies will be remembered for decades to come.”
