Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots


Time to present album number nine out of ten of the assignments we got. "Choosing 10 vinyl albums that greatly influenced my taste". One album per day, 10 consecutive days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Every day I ask someone else to do the same." Throwing the ball at some nice figure at the social media Facebook.

That BLACK SABBATH is a huge influence for me is pretty clear if you read this blog. The band has been around for ages. I believe the first record I got with SABBATH was the second studio album "Paranoid".



Today's tune "Fairies Wear Boots" is a song by the English heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH, from their 1970 album "Paranoid". It was released in 1971 as the B-side to "After Forever". The album was released 18 September 1970. The band's bassist Geezer Butler states the music was inspired by the band's encounter with skinheads, who are the "fairies" in the song. Tony Iommi states the title was inspired from an incident when Butler and singer Ozzy Osbourne were smoking cannabis and saw fairies in boots running around a park, and not from an encounter with skinheads. In Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography I Am Ozzy he stated he does not know what the song is about, but everybody told him he wrote the lyrics. 😂😂😂
