Deep Cuts From 1971: ‘Sweet Leaf’- Black Sabbath. The lead off track from Black Sabbath’s third album Masters Of Reality-‘ Sweet Leaf’ is considered one of their signature songs. The band was heavily into smoking cannabis at the time- and that is what the song is about. The title was lifted from a pack of Irish cigarettes which advertised itself as ‘it’s the sweet leaf.’
Master Of Reality has become my favourite Sabbath album after all these years
Unlike Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, I never got much into Black Sabbath and only know a handful of their tunes. My gut tells me I might like them more now than I did in the past.
