''Gloria'' is the first album by the Shadows of Knight, released in 1966. The Shadows of Knight are primarily known for their hit version of the Van Morrison penned Them band's "Gloria". At the same time, the band today is regarded as one of the original punk bands. The band's association with "Gloria" has caused some to miscategorize them as one-hit wonders.〔They are not so categorized in the List of 1960s one-hit wonders in the United States.〕 One reviewer points out that their first album, and its follow-up, ''Back Door Men'', represent far greater diversity: "(The ''Gloria'' album) 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."〔Cub Koda, (Review of ''Gloria'' album ); www.allmusic.com.〕 == Track listing == # "Gloria" (Van Morrison) – 2:34 # "Light Bulb Blues" (Jerry McGeorge, James Alan Sohns) – 2:32 # "I Got My Mojo Working" (McKinley Morganfield) – 3:28 # "Darkside" (Warren Rogers, James Alan Sohns) – 2:00 # "Boom Boom" (John Lee Hooker) – 2:28 # "Let It Rock "(Chuck Berry) – 1:52 # "Oh Yeah (Ellas McDaniel)" – 2:45 # "It Always Happens That Way" (Warren Rogers, James Alan Sohns) – 1:52 # "You Can't Judge a Book by Looking at the Cover" – (Willie Dixon) 2:37 # "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man" (Willie Dixon) – 3:52 # "I Just Want to Make Love to You" (Willie Dixon) – 3:49 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gloria (Shadows of Knight album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
