As the 1960’s ended a wave a bands that drove a harder edge to their sound began to emerge. Some found success in the States, some Europe, but few seemed able to crack both. Somehow, when we look back, we would have thought that Uriah Heep could have been one of those bands.
When this website was first thought up, we really didn’t pay attention to Country music and we were a little surprised to see that Hank Williams was one of the early inductees.
