Trading Places

The unlikely setting of The Knights was Northfield Hermon Preparatory School in northwest Massachusetts, where students formed a resident band that recorded a series of albums from the late 1950s, up to 1968. The self-titled album recorded at Boston’s Ace Recording Studios in 1967 is a cult classic of multi-genre cover tunes, including sensitive renditions of Sam Cooke’s Bring It On Home and The Drifters’ Up On The Roof, a rocking take of The Spencer Davis Group’s Give Me Some Loving and an agreeable pass of Ben E. King’ s Stand By Me. There is rhythm and blues, heart-drenched ballads, soul, and garage rock too. Keyboardist Brad Waterman, drummer Marc Solomon and saxophonist Bill Douvris were all longstanding group members and this self-titled issue their rarest release.
