Those Things You Do – The Knights
Lance Records (L-2015)
"The Lance Monthly" Internet newsletter is sponsoring a special vintage series of CD albums, which will include the eventual two-album releases of all the ‘60s Lance Records’ 45-vinyl songs. “Those Things You Do” is the first of these “Lance Monthly Vintage Series,” which contain all of the ‘60s releases by The Knights. This group made a huge impression in Albuquerque during the city’s early to mid-‘60s rock-and-roll days, and one of the tracks is the historic “Weatherman’s Song” sung by retired weatherman, Howard Morgan of KOAT TV. The following is a brief history of The Knights:
The Knights (a.k.a. King Richard and the Knights) had its beginnings in 1961 in Albuquerque, New Mexico (U.S.A.), during a time when instrumental rock ruled the world with The Ventures and The Fireballs leading the way. Thus, the band (or combo as it was called back then) became a Ventures/Fireballs-style band, playing 40 to 50 instrumental guitar songs per gig with no vocals other than a Chuck Berry tune here and there to break the monotony.
By 1963, the band finally developed an identity and released "Precision" on an Albuquerque, New Mexico rock-and-roll AM radio station, KQEO. But when the Beatles invaded the U.S. in Feb. of 1964, it was a bad omen for The Knights. Dot Records reneged on a promised national release of “Precision” and the original lineup of The Knights (featured on the cover of this album), with the exception of Stewart, disbanded in 1964. Dick Stewart hired a new cast of players, including a keyboardist and a saxophonist, and added “King Richard” to the band’s name. Six-piece bands that consisted of electric bass, drums, two electric guitars, keys and a sax became the new rage.
