Shadows Of Knight - 'A Knight To Remember' (Bassic-Lee Music

Mike Reed | USA | 05/15/2009

(3 out of 5 stars)

"What I've found out about the Shadows Of Knight was that most fans remember their cover of Van Morrison's "Gloria" but hardly anyone recalls their second minor hit the Chicago band had with "Oh Yeah". 'A Knight To Remember' is a decent twelve track comeback CD with vocalist Jimy Sohns as the only original member. Tracks I liked best were the solid foot-stomping rockers "Backseat Rockin'" and "Something To Remember Me By". Other worthy cuts include a song about a special woman - "Sinderella", the catchy "Love Is A Four Letter Word", "All Of The Knights", the familiar-sounding "Dirty Dirty Job" (where have I heard that riff before?), their later remake of "Gloria" and "My House Has No Windows". Personnel: Jimy Sohns-lead vocals, Lee Brovitz-bass & vocals, Bobby Messano-guitar & vocals, Michael Junkroski-keyboards and Michael Campbell-drums & vocals. If you've experienced any reunion tours, one-off gigs, reunion or live reunion CD's by the likes of the Standells, Kingsmen, Electric Prunes, the Sonics or Chocolate Watchband, then you'll likely get as much out of this title as I did."
