"Stranger In Us All" Is A 1995 Album By The Reformed "Rainbow". When Ritchie Blackmore Left "Deep Purple" For The Final Time He Put Together A New Version Of Rainbow In 1994 Called "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow". This Line-Up Only Released One Album Before Ritchie Decided He Wanted To Pursue Different Musical Styles And Formed "Blackmore's Night" With Fiance Candice Night. Released In The Post-Grunge Mid '90s It Was No Surprise That "Stranger In Us All" Failed To Measure Up To The Critical And Commercial Acclaim Of Previous Releases And Was Not Particularly Well Publicised. Among Fans However It Is Considered A Forgotten Gem In The Rainbow Discography. With A Style Comfortably Sitting Somewhere Between The Dungeons And Dragons Approach Of The Ronnie James Dio Era And The Radio Friendly Commerciality Of The Joe Lynn Turner Era "Stranger In Us All" Had A Sound Dissimilar To Any Rainbow Of Old. The Superb Vocal Flexibility Of Doogie White Proved Once Again Blackmore's Knack Of Finding Relatively Unknown Talent And Giving Them A Vehicle To Further Success. Much Of The Album Featured In The Live Concert Sets And With The Set Being Varied From Night To Night Live Bootleg Recordings Still Remain Popular With Blackmore Fans. Drummer John O'Reilly Was Replaced For The Tour By The Returning Chuck Burgi. John Miceli Joined The Band For The US Shows February To May 1997 Plus One In Denmark.
