The Shadows of Knight is an American rock band from the Chicago suburbs, formed in the 1960s, who play a form of British blues mixed with influences from their native city. As teenagers, the band members, like most rock 'n' roll groups, were intent on becoming pop stars. Instead of creating a brand-new sound or striving for something different, their philosophy was to take popular styles of rock 'n' roll and push them to the edge. It was at that that the band excelled.
