Down to Earth

Down To Earth is the fourth studio album released by Rainbow, released in 1979. Most of the album had been already written and recorded by the time Graham Bonnet was recruited. Also recruited were Ritchie Blackmore's ex-Deep Purple bandmate Roger Glover and keyboardist Don Airey, who would later join Deep Purple. Lyrics were by Glover, music by Blackmore, Airey and Cozy Powell. This was to be the only Rainbow album on which Bonnet sang, although he was still part of the band when writing for Difficult to Cure began. There was a limited edition clear vinyl release.
