Anyone who wishes to explore Ritchie Blackmore's early, pre-Deep Purple career needs to check this out. Most of the tracks were recorded in the early to mid 1960s, before Blackmore had joined up with the band which would bring him world-wide fame. As can be expected, most of the tunes are of a poppish, dated "Swinging London" feel, for he was a session guitarist then, often sharing duties with Jimmy Page. Tunes by the Outlaws show his mastery of distortion, feedback, and tricky melodies, but some of the vocal tracks are somewhat outdated. Blackmore did improve greatly as a player once he joined Deep Purple--several tracks from Purple from 1968 to 1974 bear this out here. A no brainer for any Deep Purple or Rainbow fan.
