Chicago, Illinois had one of the liveliest garage rock scenes around in the early to mid-'60s, 

and the Shadows of Knight were at once one of the most popular and among the toughest acts 

on the Windy City's teen scene; they were also one of the few who achieved genuine stardom nationwide. 

One of the members of the group was once quoted as saying, "the Stones, Animals and Yardbirds took 

the Chicago blues and gave it an English interpretation. We've taken the English version of the blues 

and re-added a Chicago touch." Indeed, while plenty of American bands learned about the blues from 

the Rolling Stones and other U.K. acts, the Shadows of Knight were one of the first, 

and their best music was a swaggering fusion of urban blues and the raw, 

muscular sound of the harder British Invasion acts

It positively rocks with a raw energy of a band straight out of the teen clubs, playing with a total abandon 

and an energy level that seems to explode out of the speakers. Equal parts Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Who, 

and snotty little Chicago-suburb bad boys, the Shadows of Knight could easily put the torch to Chess blues classics, 

which make up the majority of the songs included here. Their wild takes on "I Just Want to Make Love to You," 

"Oh Yeah," and "I Got My Mojo Working" rank right up there with any British Invasion band's version 

from the same time period. Original material was never plentiful on either SOK long-player, 

but worth checking out are "Light Bulb Blues," 

the blues ballad "Dark Side," and the why-me? rocker "It Always Happens That Way." 

If you're only going to own one Shadows of Knight package,
