Show notes

In the 1980s and 90s Black Sabbath released 5 outstanding studio records (and a great live one) featuring British vocalist Tony Martin. After the departure of Ian Gillan after just one album and an ill-fated Tony Iommi solo record featuring Glenn Hughes on vocals, Sabbath turned to Tony Martin, a virtual unknown. Martin's incredible vocal range and strong song-writing skills gave Sabbath a sound and stability that had been lacking for several years. His two tenures in the band produced some of Sabbath's finest work, which fans continue to discover even today. Court and Matt investigate the band's history with Martin as frontman, and discuss the catalog and best offerings on each album.
