Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by Roger Glover, the sophomore album from Ronnie James Dio's early band is a raucous, piano-driven celebration of bluesy hard rock. Dio's monumental vocal prowess is already fully formed here, elevating the band's infectious boogie-rock riffs before their eventual absorption into Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
