Quintessential Canadian Rockers April Wine to be inducted to Canadian Music Hall of FameThe Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) is pleased to announce the induction of hard-rock band, April Wine, to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. In 2009, the group marked its 40th anniversary a celebrated span of time that has produced an impressive repertoire of hits among its 16 studio albums all which have surpassed gold status. April Wine will receive their honour at THE 2010 JUNO AWARDS in St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, on Sunday, April 18th during CTVs live broadcast.
April Wine formed in late 1969 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but vocalist/guitarist Myles Goodwyn, guitarist David Henman, drummer Ritchie Henman and bassist Jimmy Henman soon moved to Montreal. "Fast Train," their first hit, appeared in 1971, the same year as the self-titled debut album. Jimmy Henman left soon after and was replaced by Jimmy Clench. The next year brought the band's first Canadian number one single, "You Could Have Been a Lady," from On Record. David and Ritchie Henman left before the next album, Electric Jewels, could be recorded; they were replaced by Jerry Mercer and Gary Moffet. After April Wine Live (1974) and Stand Back (1975), Steve Lang replaced Clench, who left to join Bachman-Turner Overdrive and later Loverboy. In 1976, The Whole World's Goin' Crazy became the first Canadian album to go platinum and their resulting tour was the first to gross one million dollars. Forever for Now appeared in 1976, followed by April Wine Live at the El Mocambo in 1977. Guitarist Brian Greenway was added that same year, making the band a sextet. After 1978's First Glance and 1979's Harder...Faster, "Just Between You and Me" became April Wine's biggest U.S. hit. The single (one of three Top 40 American singles by the band) propelled 1981's Nature of the Beast to platinum-record status. Power Play followed in 1982, and 1984's Animal Grace was their last album. Myles Goodwyn recorded his first self titled solo album in 1988. Four years later, all the original members joined for a Canadian tour, which convinced them to resume recording. "If You Believe in Me," the band's first single in eight years, was followed by 1993's Attitude. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

First concert I ever saw was April Wine, September 4, 1981. Loved them before, and I loved them ever since. BEST ROCK CONERT EVER!!
First show I ever saw and first song live
Yeah my first time was 1986, in Point Roberts
I am American, living in Buffalo NY...and am BLESSED to have such awesome neighbors. AW, the Hip, Blue Rodeo>! FUCKING OUTSTANDING
Sloan, Forgotten Rebels...no mention of Leonard Cohen? SNFU? Teenage Head? Chixxdiggit? Steppenwolf's core was Canadian. 54-40...Northern Pikes. King Khan and BBQ Show!
Aw, but what about those alligator lizards in the air. Mutual both ways brother. Remember ventura highway by America.
Hey, that's *_neighbours,_* eh? Don't forget that we use the U!
April Wine has always been a special rock and roll band for me. They make me feel proud to be Nova Scotian. Proud to be a Canadian. They were a favorite of my Dad who passed away when I was 9. Glad he brought me up on rock and roll.
Me too man songs like this been in my head since i was a little guy
How did I make it this long and not know they came from where I grew up. Come one LWF get it together 😂
I Seen April Wine In Concert Sooo Many Times In The 80'S and 90's Loved Myles "R.I.P." I Lost A Brother to 4 months ago He Brought ME Up On This Stuff. Hi "Rod"See You On The Other Side "Ozzy"O. Bless You All.
Proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦
I ❤ April Wine 🎸🎶
Kick ass song!
From Canada and beautiful too. April Wine, I like to rock.
Yuppers
With all the Great Canadian bands, as I was close to Quebec, makes me wish I was from Canada.
Proud Canadian myself and this band never gets old!
I wanted to give your comment a thumbs up but the total right now is 69.
RIP Myles. Your music lives on in so many of our memories
One of may favourite bands ever. Indeed we Canadians know how to rock!!!
I'll never forget walking into a school dance a few minutes late and this was playing as I walked in. Kids were dancing and I was just trying to find where the girls were sitting. I was a shy girl, so walking in to those cow bells did my head in. But, what a time we had that night and I saw April Wine in concert many times after that. I must say we had the time of our lives back then because of the music!!
Wow. I was 13 when this song was out and I too walked into our school dance late. It was dark, so dark one had to look down so as not to step on things. And that cowbell started as i Performed my late walk of shame and it did me in as well, i mean who needs that beautiful sound of a mix of cowbell and railroad crossing when one wants to be unnoticed. And i found all my buds on the far left bleachers, sitting there as though a mid 70's sausage party.
Ha! It was a mid-70s sausage party. The girls were on the other side of the gym trying to figure out the dynamics of line-dancing cos you shy boys weren't asking!
Jamie Rieger seems Nice.
It's actually a fire bell - maybe from a school. It currently sits on a cymbal stand in Kingston Ontario at Joe's MILL (musical instrument lending library). Jerry Mercer lives in the area and I'm assuming he donated it.
Jamie Rieger- Actually, as a drummer, I can say 100% that its actually a fire engine bell, and not a cowbell. 👍I saw April Wine in a Montreal bar in 1999, and drummer Jerry Merser had it hanging on stage as part of his drum kit.
Underrated band. These guys did some stellar tunes, messed around with time,
threw folks off.. Say Hello, Oowatanite, etc. Excellent drumming. excellent tunes.
Nuff said.
It amazes me how underrated this band is. They rocked it for a long time and never won a Juno award.
EXCELLENT drumming
@@fantasyguru26 travesty for such a great Canadian band.
Yeah I was blown away by this as a kid .. it still holds up
Canadian bands ROCK!!! April Wine always puts on a great show!
Thank you ❤❤❤
Saw them in 1976 as the opening act for Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens!! 😁😁 what a concert that night!!!
That’s as good as me seeing Styx back bad company
Every time I hear a train bell I start singing this song.
Train just went by. Triggered this song. ❤
April Wine really rocks Canada.
Oh yeah brother.
Fantastic band. Listen to them all the time when I was a teen and still enjoying them at age 60.
Had the absolute privilege to see Myles Goodwyn play for the last time a few months ago in Truro NS with my Dad whos now 60 and he said it brought him back to his 20s. Additionally Myles broke a 20 year sober streak and pounded back some beer. They never missed a best truly amazing
Here I am at the R/R crossing listening to April Wine. Kick ass!!!
Another priceless tune after all these years.
This band should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before the paint dried.
Agreed.
They are criminally underrated.
No.
They would rather induct Dolly Parton, Emenem, and Jay Z because apparently they are more "Rock".
Totally agree! RIP Myles
I worked for a railway for 30+ years. Every time we set off the railway crossing by some grain elevators the bell went ballistic to the beat of this songs bells and I started singing.the intro.🤠
One time when I was young my mom and I were on a trip and this came on right as we came up to a rail crossing. Needless to say my mom was confused, I knew what was happening and struggled to keep it to myself.
hahah... great song, hope you sang it loud
Now i ve heard this for the first time in my hard rocking life, i cant really decide which riff is better. This one or the i like to rock. Though the like to rock is heavier im leaning to this one! UNBELIEVABLE!
Silver Dollar?
My favorite song ever
Another great April Wine song.
It's a shame that this Canadian band did not receive the recognition it deserved. There are so many good tunes from them, and hardly anyone realizes they were a Canuck fixture for two decades. I recall listening to them on AM radio in the early 70s and then on a local FM rock station in the 80s. Great memories when you hear one of these tunes.
Great album. Great songs! Thanks for the tunes....RIP
Love 'April Wine Stand Back' one of my favorite albums of all time!
One of the best songs by one of the best bands ever!!
This has the best sound quality of all versions on RUclips. Thanks uploader.
Remembered good times of one ot their last shows! One of great Canadian rock bands! ThankU
That closing riff is fucking amazing.
I've seen a lot of big names like Van Halen, Kiss, Nazareth, Supertramp, Bob Seger etc but the best concert I ever attended was April Wine in Edmonton in 1993
Saw them 3 times in the 70's! Still in my top 20 concerts ever ans I've see many greats.
I'v read some of the other text's On here And I believe that It's great that so many People like our Canadian Music Fr. All Over The World.
I Believe that Canadians have it all Just like the rest of the world too ,but I Would have to say that when it comes to Music And Songs Were on top The musicians ARE Just like gifted people are In sports. we've got what it takes. Now you know the rest of the Story.
Had the pleasure of hearing Nature of the Beast when it came out. Been a fan ever since. They are such an incredible band and I know "underrated" gets thrown around a lot now but it fits perfectly here I believe.
Such great music.
Oowtasong! Brings back so many memories of the 70's
Best era of ROCK!!!
Saw them in the early 2000s when drummer was 66 yrs old. Drummer did a 20 minute drum solo that was awesome then stood up and said “Not bad for a 66 year old!” Mostly baby boomers attended, and some brought their kids where I heard some say “You listened to this band when you were younger? They are frickin awesome!
I can proudly say that I saw this band open their set with this song in front of 40,000 nut jobs at " Grand Slam Super Jam '80 " at Busch Stadium in St. Louis . What a day ! Super hot and not a cloud in the sky . Drugs and booze galore . Crowd getting sprayed with fire hoses . " Acid Rescue " was set up in both dugouts on either side of the field . Fights left and right . Endless firecrackers and projectiles . Banners getting set on fire . Lotsa nudity . Bumping into friends everywhere . I got a helluva sunburn and left that show comfortably numb . Just an intense atmosphere ! Shooting Star , April Wine , Judas Priest , Journey , and Sammy Hagar headlined . April Wine and Judas Priest were a devastating 1 - 2 punch for this kid ! Aaaahhh , the good ol' daze......
What a magical memorable day it was! Definitely remember my sunburn as well. On the way home to Florissant, all of us in my buds Mustang, one of us randomly burst out with "Ding ding ding ding ding"! This song and Sammy's Trans Am entrance have stayed with me all these years.
I'm older, but April Wine and Triumph were both great bands... being Canadian is a bonus...
Brian Greenwqy is pure magic on the guitar 🔥
That cowbell with my morning coffee 👌💕🤘 GOOD MORNIN CRUEL WORLD 😂
kept hearing this song in the radio but missing the name of the song and/or band. Took me a while but I'm glad I found it, now I want to look more into these guys especially now knowing they are Canadian
You won't be disappointed
Killer 70's rock!
Great song by April Wine,and good singin by Jim Clench on this one! Rip jim clench and steve lang
As a young lad I remember getting high with some friends and this song comes on and holy sheet , I thought a freaking train was coming!! We weren’t even near a train track !! Lol
OMG. To funny!!! Takes me back to those stoner days of yore. Listen to Alan Parsons I Robot 🤖 in the dark after your gummy kicks in. It’ll blow your mind. Best stoner album ever.
I once made a circle out of a strand of metal for a project in an autoshop class. Hit it a couple times and it made the sound of the intro to this song. Changed my life.
I always loved the Train-Stop Bells going off, at the beginning of the Tune! "Small Town guy, living next to a Railroad Crossing"!!
Pure Canadian rock, cheers
love the dinner bell in this song ...makes me run to the table everytime !!!!!!!
these guys are just plain great
They still rock
Oh man, my dad told me stories about meeting them. They went to his high school to perform and they got to talk and jam a few times, must have been a great time
Gone to soon to Parkinson's. Rest peacefully my special brother; bass guitar was never quite so perfect. Wayne
As a Canadian I can attest that WE ROCK! 😎
Yes and we do it in a nice clean place with lots of fresh air.
Canuckian's Rule! eh?
@Robert Heintze Bachman Turner Overdrive, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot
woooo hoooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert Heintze nickelback

what a song/band .... and what a writer ! RIP Myles Goodwin.
Fredericton NB - Lady Beaverbrook Arena 1976
Smoked doobies all night!!!
Still like cranking this tune up on the stereo
Saw these guys live four times. My favorite band and “I like to Rock” is best song ever! “Ladies man” did me right at a concert in Bismarck…Miles told the girls to go find your man and she did…for that nite anyway! I was 16 and this girl was 20! “Blew my mind” and a few other things 😂
Lol
Puppy love😅
Canada at it's BEST ✌
Bruce Dickenson : " I gotta have more cowbell" April Wine: hold my beer
It's supposed to be the sound of a rail crossing
Yeah that's not a cowbell it's a fire bell
@@michaelscott1658 Michael, I believe its the crown of the ride cymbal.....anyway, its what I use when covering this......
@@weejimsdad well I've seen them live twice once with Jerry Mercer drumming was when they did this song & it's not a cymbal trick he has an actual firehouse bell on his kit similar to what they use for boxing rounds or wrestling matches
Lucky for me, i grew up near the border in upstate NY and could get CHOM FM 97.7 out of Montreal and they played lots of Canadian bands that got little or no airplay in the US. April Wine was one of my favorites, especially "I like to rock". Awesome music!
Cool song, my favourite from April Wine
The true treasure from the Oak Island area!
My All-time favorite Classic Canadian Rock n Roll Band
I love this song!
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
take me back!!!....good memories...
This was the first tune I ever saw Alive by a good band it was at the Capitol Theater in Flint Michigan way back when they first came to America it was their first America performance let me tell you what it was the best thing I've ever heard in my whole life and it still has and I've been to a lot of concerts but this is one of the best
april wine,rush,triumph,bto and many great bands
Bring me back memories when we all use to hang around at Breckenridge park at the sunken gardens in San Antonio
Really, so South USA TX kids even heard of this band back in the mid 70's ?? signed, young Canadian teen from the mid 70's.
@@bobbyc1367 hell yeah. We had the GODFATHER, Joe Anthony introduce us to all the kick ass bands of the 70s and 80s
Great album, great song thanks for the tunes!
Seen them in the 80's in Vancouver bc. awesome show...boy time flies
Saw them in my teens and older. Met them awesome guys
I saw them in concert back in 84 and they were amazing

Que suerte tuviste de haber vivido junto a un gran musico, cantante y compositor .
nova scotia!
Great song. Blast from the past
I love my April Wine who I grew up listening to on KSHE in the 1970s. What Wii St Louis folk called a KSHE classic😊 also the band prism another Canadian group in the same vein as April Wine😊
A band that I was introduced to by a friend 6/7 years my senior, back in the early 80's, lol, good times!
i saw them at the Montreal Forum, their hometown, when they got big enough to play in such a place.
they played there for 2 nights in a row.
it was excellent! : )
Oowatanite
April Wine
Baby let's move cause you know that the light here
Really hurts my eyes
I come from a world where the light is dim
And the people not so jive
So fine, you know it's gonna be
So come on, come on, come on, come one baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up
Ooh baby, you know the time is right
We are the light of two foreign ships, passing in the night
So fine, you know it's gonna be
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything will be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up, again
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up
Ooh baby, don't hang me on the line
Life don't wait if you hesitate, come on quit wasting time
I know, you wonder if it's right
I just need a straight-shootin' woman to get me through the night
So come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on if you want it to be
Oowatanite, everything'll be alright
Come on, come on, love me tonight
And I'll be yours till the sun comes up, again
(Jim Clench)

I seen April Wine 4 times. in 1977 in Moncton New Brunswick, and rest in the early 1980's
I'm just on the south end of the border but I love the wine in Idaho and wyomin they rock for many years they have blown many speakers out of my rides 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I feel that, even with the success that April Wine has had, they were still under-rated! They should have been there right at the top!
Myles probably fucked the wrong LA record exec's wife...or daughter.
This group is proof that this music has endured the test of time and you cannot keep a Canadian down.
Canada's: "April Wine"!
memories,memories...wish i could relive them...sigh...
I'm the master of chaos with these guys. Run away. ☺
Thanks boys. Still rocking
I love the railroad crossing bell in that song
Wow great song and band . Hoping 2022 brings us some normal nights after all this crazy things in the past 2 years cheers .
Love that Rock'n Ray still plays this song on 92.9 The Grand (in Hamilton) Always turn it up to 10!!!
They play it it Fredericton as well on 105.3
if you get a chance, go see April Wine, they are as good as ever, they put on an incredibly good show, usually in a relatively small venue.
+Mike Whitehead AGREE!
Fuck ya
they barely exist anymore
+AveragePanda YT myles left or they left myles and jimmy died
I saw them this year, they put on a great show!
April Wine came to my high school.
The very first jam I ever heard live!!!
