Any love for 'Rockin' by The Guess Who?

Buy the catalogue.

 

I found 3 more at the same store (used also $5.99), So Long, Artificial Paradise, and Road Food.

 

Sure, I liked this album. I was a big Guess Who fan.
Being next to Ontario, Canada, these guys were always on the radio here.
“Heartbroken Bopper” & “Heaven Only Moved Once” are longtime favorites.

 

The first time I saw Guess Who in concert, they kicked it off with "Get Your Ribbons On," after which Burton Cummings greeted the audience with "Sh_t! It's hot in here!" I have it for posterity on a cassette I took to the show. They really rocked that night, and I feel very fortunate to have seen lead guitartist Kurt Winter perform on stage. As for the "Rockin'" album, I will always bypass the truncated edit of "Heartbroken Bopper" without the string-pings at the beginning. The get-ready-for-this build-up to the song just isn't there without them.

 

Looking back, the group was really gelling at that point. But from my teenaged vantage point, it was the first inkling I had that...something was going terribly wrong there.

Of those, I think Road Food is the best. It's got a remake of "Don't You Want Me" (one of my favourite songs from the boys). So Long Bannatyne second for "Life In The Bloodstream".
