The original band included this song on their 1967 debut album, produced by Andy Warhol who also designed the iconic album cover. Like much of the band’s material, the song deals with the darker side of the New York City underground – a tale of addiction and escape.
The Shadow artist is another prominent NYC artist. Though he arrived on the scene a few decades later, his band’s impact on rock and roll as been significant. During breaks from that band, he finds ways to fill that void.
The 5 O’Clock Shadow is presented by Flying Dog Brewery.
