Does The Headless Cross Need A Head? - a podcast by Nik Cameron
from 2020-11-26T14:00
Join us as we dissect the forgotten Black Sabbath Album The Headless Cross.
In 1988, Tony Iommi's Black Sabbath had been dropped from two record labels following The Eternal Idol, but I.R.S. Records came calling to have Iommi record a new Black Sabbath album without any intrusion.
As it had been with the previous four records, Black Sabbath again underwent significant lineup changes. Gone were Eric Singer on Drums and Bob Daisley on bass guitar to be replaced by Cozy Powell, late of Rainbow, Jeff Beck, and Whitesnake, on drums and Laurence Cottle on bass as a session player only. He was replaced by Neil Murray, late of Whitesnake and the Gary Moore Band while the band were on tour.
Look out for a surprise guest appearance by Queen's Brian May!
This album features members of Whitesnake, Black Sabbath (obviously), Rainbow, and Jeff Beck. These players have quite the pedigree!
Should you check it out or toss it in the bin? Listen to find out.
