Should I not devote my limited words to talking more about the band itself? That's just it, this post is actually one of the hardest to write as I have so much to say about Uriah Heep that it's hard to condense. I could tell you they started out as Spice in 1969, became Uriah Heep in 1970 and that their name choice has often been criticized (Charles Dickens readers will get it).
I could also tell you they have a member (Gary Thain) in the infamous 27Club along with Janis Joplin, Jim Morison and Kurt Cobain. And I could proceed to tell you about the revolving lineups, music style changes and band member drama that surpasses that of Deep Purple and has brought forth just as many talented, if not more, individual musicians with solo careers.Yes, they are still touring. If you are still asking: Uriah Who? let the music speak for itself.
This version of the classic Lady in Black, while described as a cover by the Romanian band Iris, is actually a collaborate effort between Uriah Heep and Iris.
