sound. A charismatic progressive rock band from Leicester, England, Black Widow were considered to
be a major rivals to Black Sabbath when they first emerged in 1970.
Starring Jim Gannon (guitar/vocals) and Kip Trevor (vocals), the group was born out a soul
outfit called Pesky Gee! formed in 1966, but they switched to a heavier image, more suited to
the Seventies. Influenced by the prevailing interest in black magic, the band recorded the
highly controversial single 'Come To The Sabbat', which appeared on the classic CBS sampler
album 'The Rock Machine Turns You On'.
'Black Widow' was the group's second album. Highly sought after, it was first released in 1971
and marked a move away from black magic themes to focus on distinctive and interesting prog
rock music.
