Podcasts, Rockin The Studio

Midlands Metalheads Radio are celebrating 50 Years of Metal, and this started last week end. I had the honour of putting a show together based around Black Sabbaths ground breaking first album – The album that is credited with starting Heavy Metal.

It would be short show if I just played the album so the show highlights the musical landscape at the time of release with tracks from the album chart on February 13th 1970 when Black Sabbath was released.

I to highlight the impact and influence of this album I also put in covers of Sabbath songs by massive artists that have covered Black Sabbath songs.

Oh….. I also managed to cram in lots and lots of facts about that that first album, as well as about some other songs in the show.

As you regular listeners know, I’m rubbish with Facts and information…. so once you’ve listened the the podcast head over to the article that the might Steph (who’s a reviewer on the station) has written about 1970 for the 50 Years of Metal project –
