A former Rainbow and Black Sabbath Vocalist who went solo to start his
own band, Ronnie James Dio is one of rock's most powerful singers.
Man, could this guy belt out a song! This album compiles works from his
first album Holy Diver (1983) to the Strange Highways album (1994).
Most of the songs on this CD come from his first three albums, so it's
not much of a stretch to say that his earlier albums were his best.
However, the songs chosen from his later albums were good choices that
make this compilation well worth purchasing for someone who wants to
really get a good sample of his work. This CD contains his popular
classics such as: "Holy Diver", "Rainbow in the Dark", "Mystery" and
"Last in Line". Plus three great songs from his third album,
Sacred
Heart-The title track, "Hungry for Heaven" and "Rock and Roll
Children". Then we have the less familiar but worthy tunes from his
later albums like: "Dream Evil", "Lock up the Wolves" and "Strange
Highways". After the purchase of this CD, I would recommend Holy Diver
(1983), The Last In Line (1984) and Sacred Heart (1985). |
