shadows of knight

Three years gone from their massive hit 'Gloria', only one original member remained in the band, lead singer Jim Sohns. Thinking the world wasn't done with him yet, he assembled a band and inked a deal with the hit-makers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz and cut a record, which produced one final hit for the group in 'Shake' and this self-titled LP. A bit of a hit chasing LP, its all over the map stylistically, from the expected snotty R&B to psychedelic excursions to hard rock to pop. Although this might sound off-putting at first, the album rewards with repeated listens as the record has some of the best songs of the Shadows Of Knights' brief career.
