Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light Spirit In The Night
Review by Nick Barendt
Manfred Mann's Earth Band's album "Blinded By The Light Spirit In The Night" is a classic rock masterpiece that showcases the band's incredible musicianship and songwriting abilities. The album's title track, "Blinded By The Light," is perhaps the band's most well-known hit, featuring a catchy chorus and memorable guitar riffs. Other standout tracks include "Spirit In The Night," with its funky bass line and energetic saxophone solos, and "Questions," a haunting ballad with beautiful harmonies and a powerful message. "Blinded By The Light Spirit In The Night" is a must-listen for any fan of classic rock, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

About Manfred Mann's Earth Band
After a very successful period in the 1960's with the pop group named after him and a much less successful intermezzo in Jazz with , the South-African born keyboardist Manfred Mann (real name ) turned towards rock music.
In 1971 he formed Manfred Mann's Earth Band (MMEB). Mann's use of the Moog synthesizer was key to the sound of this band. MMEB had a very successful area during the mid 1970's and early 1980's but was disbanded by Mann in 1987 after being fed up with trying to produce hit records. He started a project which was based mostly on the music of Native American Indians named and which released one album. After this Mann reformed the MMEB in 1991 and was starting again to release records with them occasionally but also to be a regular live band with extensive tours mostly in Europe until today.
