About this product
Into The Rainbow is a delightful album which pays tribute to Acoustic Alchemy founder Nick Webb by celebrating the beauty of the acoustic guitar. Recorded with a warm and attractive InchroomInch sound, the album explores some of the early gems of the Acoustic Alchemy catalogue as well as some lesser-known pieces. Nylon-string virtuoso Simon James is ably assisted by a group which includes the steel-string guitarist Shane Hill and Acoustic Alchemy frontman Greg Carmichael. Together they explore all the sources of the Acoustic Alchemy sound - English folk, Flamenco, classical and jazz. There's a sheer joy in melody which is evident from an early piece like Little Bercheres - a Nick Webb bossa nova which provides an early template of the Alchemy sound - up to one of Webb's last compositions, Into The Rainbow, co-written with James. Carmichael and James collaborate on the beautiful and sensitively-played ballad, Desert Rose. But then there is the sunny exultation of the African-flavoured Starjive and the hard-swinging jazz of Crossfire, both highlighting the improvising talent of boppish saxophonist Dave O'Higgins. This thrillingly varied album is a fitting tribute to Nick Webb and a joy in it's own right. It deserves a place on the shelves of lovers of acoustic music of all kinds - and, for that matter, anyone with an ear for melody.

The Rainbow Band was an early 70s Elektra album, but with a big Indian influence. Guest musicians include Oregon's Colin Wolcott & Darius Brubeck. The vinyl of this album goes for big bucks so fans can finally get this on CD for the first time anywhere.

One of THE top Christian psychedelic rarities is this custom guitar-based rock monster from the 5-man band, Rainbow Promise with strong west coast vibes that recall the best of Wilson McKinley! The stage is set right from the start with the righteous rocker, InchGet Ready,Inch featuring mouth-dropped-to-the-floor sharp dual guitar leads (reminds us of InchPaint It BlackInch by The Rolling Stones!). InchSomeone You NeedInch follows with some of the most insane scorching echoed wah-wah guitar on record anywhere and. InchDo You HearInch starts off fast, then adjust to a moodier feel, on par with much of what is on the Christian psych legendary album, InchSpirit of ElijahInch by Wilson McKinley. The same can be said for both InchProphecyInch and InchRebirth,Inch with the latter treating listeners to inspired echoed guitar leads. Track eight is an electrified cover of one of the most iconic Jesus Music tracks of the 70's - InchLittle Country Church,Inch made popular by Love Song. It's hard to top all this greatness! The band even breaks open a fresh can of pure charm with the delightful country rocker, InchRomans 8-28Inch and the laid back campy InchThe Joy of the Lord.Inch The album features dynamic drumming and not a single keyboard note to be found anywhere! The homemade cover art is psychedelic perfection, with a depiction of the glorified Son of Man in the midst of seven candlesticks as presented in Revelation 1 12-18. Guitarist and primary song writer, Steve Powell (R.I.P. 2021) also has a 1974 solo album, Revelation (The Party's Over) also available on CD and Vinyl. CDs come with a foil-stamped trading card, packaged in an eight panel insert. Vinyl comes with a 12Inch insert, and both CD and Vinyl have been remastered to perfection. For fans of Exkursions, Wilson McKinley, The Doors, Rolling Stones, Cream, Iron Butterfly, early Resurrection Band, All Saved freak Ban
