They are widely recognized for their raw, energetic take on rhythm and blues and for bringing the sound of British blues-rock into the American mainstream. The band's most iconic hit, a cover of Van Morrison's "Gloria," catapulted them to fame in 1966, securing their place in the annals of classic garage rock.

Over the years, The Shadows of Knight have continued to resonate with audiences, celebrated by a string of releases that capture their enduring appeal. Among their most recent works are live performance albums such as "50th Anniversary Reunion Concert (Live)" and intimate recordings like "Raw 'n Alive at the Cellar, Chicago '66."
