I was late to the table but King's X has become a huge favorite and influence on me as a musician in the last few years. No one sounds like them or is able mesh heaviness, groove, soul, and Beatles-esque harmonies in such a seamless way.
This week we're going back to 1993 and the classic track "Black The Sky". It's such a great song and puts these guys' chops on full display. There is no fat here, just the perfect mix of sludgy, heavy, bluesy, and funky. Doug Pinnick defined bass tone for a generation and he anchors this track with his bass thunder and soulful singing. King's X rules and I dare you to sit still during this one.

About The Curator - Danny Gordon
Danny's love affair with music started around the time he could walk. He spent countless hours in front of the record player going through his parents collection and experimented with playing violin, piano, and guitar before finding his voice on the bass in his teens.
Danny began playing in local bands in Los Angeles while studying music, eventually landing at Berklee College of Music in 1998. Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland.
Danny continues to stay active in the local scene and is a devoted father teaching his children about the music he loves.
