Henry
Cow é um dos principais grupos ligados ao Rock Progressivo e um dos
ícones da vertente vanguardista do estilo denominado Rock in
Opposition. Apesar de ter tido uma vida relativamente curta (10 anos) e
apenas 5 discos de estúdio, o grupo solidificou a vertente que seria
denominada nos anos 90 de Avant-progressive rock, que seguiam uma linha
totalmente diferente feita pelos medalhões do estilo.
Origens.
As origens vêm de 1968, quando Fred Frith e montam o grupo, inicialmente com uma sonoridade ligada ao Blues. Com o passar do tempo influências de Frank Zappa, do Free Jazz e do progressivo ligado a cidade de Canterbury (onde Frith ficaria alguns meses em 1969) eram adicionadas em sua música. Em 1972 o baterista Cris Cutler e o baixista John Greaves fechariam a primeira formação do grupo. Participa de shows com bandas também de vanguarda como a alemã Faust e graças ao multi-instrumentista Mike Oldfield, amigo de Frith, conseguem um contrato com a gravadora Virgin, lançando seu primeiro trabalho, Leg End, em maio de 1973.
