The first and best album by Chicago's Shadows Of Knight is as close as an American band ever came to an equivalent to the early albums by the Rolling Stones. The group is today best known for its magnificent, feral version of Van Morrison's "Gloria," a defining single in the '60s punk canon.
But the rest of this album shows that these white boys knew the blues better than most, turning Chess Records standards like "I Got My Mojo Workin'," John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom," and "I Just Want to Make Love to You" from South Side blues into suburban snot-rock without losing any of their original powerful intensity. Originals like "Light Bulb Blues" and "It Always Happens That Way" are tougher than you'd expect, and the bonus tracks--two single mixes and an alternate version of "Mojo" recorded as a giveaway for a local potato chip company (!)--are excellent.
Their 1966 debut album fully remastered from the original tapes with all original artwork & three bonus tracks- 'Oh Yeah' (Single Version), 'I Got My Mojo Workin'' (Alternate Version) and 'Someone Like Me' (Single). 14 tracks total, also including their hit cover of the garage punk classic 'Gloria'. 1998 Sundazed release.
Personnel: Jim Sohns (vocals); Warren Rogers, Joe Kelley, Jerry McGeorge (guitar); Tom Schiffour (drums).
Recording information: Universal Recording Corp., Chicago, IL.

Gloria CD music
$12.25 (MP3 Available for Download)
The original LP version of this album, the second by the legendary white Chicago garage punk/blues outfit, was one of the most sought-after artifacts of mid-'60s punk rock. Back Door Men was a loud, feedback-laden, sneering piece of rock & roll defiance, mixing raunchy anthems to teenage lust ("Gospel Zone," "Bad Little Woman"), covers of Chicago blues classics (Willie Dixon's "Spoonful," Jimmy Reed's "Peepin' and Hidin'"), raga rock ("The Behemoth"), folk-rock ("Hey Joe," "Three for Love," "I'll Make You Sorry"), and a blues-punk grab off of commercial Top 40 ("Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another ...

| | Eric Sardinas Black Pearls CD (2003)
Gloria music CDs
$10.09 (MP3 Available for Download)
Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The songs, all written by Sardinas, sound good and rock hard, although you've heard all this said before. (Granted, blues feeds on recycled lyrics, and it is undoubtedly hard to find a new way to say "I've been down so long I'm gonna leave you.") The highlights here -- the cheerful pop-blues of "Big Red Line," the bluegrass-paced Dobro work on "Old Smyrm Road" -- come on songs that step a little bit outside the blues-boogie template. ~ Steve Leggett
Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The problem here is the material. The songs, all written by Sardinas, are at the worst end of blues cliché. They sound good and rock hard, but in the end, ...

| | Bachman Turner Overdrive Bto's Greatest CD (1981)
Gloria album
$9.75  (MP3 Available for Download)
The durable Bachman-Turner Overdrive is one of those bands with more greatest-hits collections than actual studio albums. Greatest Hits digs a bit deeper than the definitive Best of B.T.O. (So Far), which was released at the height of the band's fame but passes over stompers such as "Give Me Your Money Please" and "Blue Collar" for faceless late-era (sans Randy Bachman) tunes like "Can We All Come Together." Some interesting arcana hides at the ...
| | Blectum From Blechdom Haus De Snaus CD (2001)
Gloria CD music
$9.89 (MP3 Available for Download)
HAUS DE SNAUS compiles Blectum From Blechdom's out of print vinyl EP's, SNAUSES AND MALLARDS and DE SNAUNTED HAUS plus two unreleased bonus tracks.
While not as adventurous as their last outing -- 2001's The Messy Jesse Fiesta, an album for which they won the coveted Prix Ars Electronica -- Blectum From Blechdom's Haus de Snaus still delivers well-constructed, ragged beats and clippy electronics for the post-'90s laptop set. Essentially, this disc collects two of the duo's EPs -- their debut, Snauses and Mallards, and 2001's De Snaunted Haus -- along with a pair of extra tracks. Blectum From Blechdom builds their records around pieces of live performance and then regurgitates those newly processed bits back into their live ...
| | Venetian Snares Vsnares: 2370894 CD (2002)
Gloria MP3 Album
$14.75
Judging by Aaron Funk's track-by-track comments in the liner notes, the brilliant VSNARES: 2370894 is a collection of extra songs that didn't fit anywhere else on the prolific electronic provocateur's many albums. One guess is that's why he released the album under the moniker Venetian Snares. As always, ...
| | Darryl Worley Have You Forgotten? CD (2003)
Gloria music CDs
$12.59 (MP3 Available for Download)
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
The shot of young Darryl Worley standing before a flag on the cover of HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?, is but one clue to the patriotic manna contained within that's struck a chord with the conservative contingency that makes up so much of mainstream country music's fan base. The cornerstone of Worley's third album is the title track, an unabashedly patriotic anthem invoking images of 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden, inspired by a USO tour of Afghanistan that the Tennessee native made over the 2002 Christmas holidays. With an overwhelmingly positive public clamoring for more, Dreamworks wasted no time cobbling together this collection of 16 songs, 12 of them coming from Worley's first two records.
Not surprisingly, a number of other songs feature ...
