    This is my favourite Canadian band. They were very prolific, and varied in their songwriting, releasing 20 albums since 1971. In 1972 they opened for a few more large acts, like Ike & Tina Turner, Jethro Tull, Badfinger and Stevie Wonder.

    "Roller" will rock your socks off Harry. "Weeping Widow" will amaze. "I Wanna Rock" will impress you too.
    April Wine are a hidden Canadian rock gem and deserve more recognition.

    3 guitars, bass n drums. This Album was released late in '79 and is viewed as their first album of the 80s. 16 studio albums, multiple live n Greatest Hits compilations. April Wine is unquestionably one of the best bands to come from Canada. Their catalog is extensive and very impressive. From piano ballads, power Rock Ballads to Hard Rock. Every one of their 16 studio albums has great stuff. Check out their '92 album, Attitude. They continue to tour, with lead singer/song writer Myles Goodwyn continuing to record. PS: Jimmy Clench, Steve Lang and now Myles Goodwyn, RIP

    Another great Candian band out of Nova Scotia.🇨🇦 April Wine has produced over 20
    Rockin' albums.
    The instruments, drums and guitars amazing and fabulous vocals make for a great listen anytime. Although most of their songs absolutely rocking they have a few great slower songs too.
    Just Between You and Me
    You Won't Dance With Me
    I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love
    Wonderfully produced music.
    Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Louis. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

    My favorite song from '72 is Could Have Been A Lady. Sure wore the 45 out as the expression goes!
    Tho I enjoy all their songs thanks to one of my rocker brothers (rip). My BFF liked their cover of the Beatles song Tell Me Why. Smooth and Sultry with great guitar licks. (Expect nothing less 😎 )

    Jerry Mercer on drums has been with the band for 35 years. Retired in 2008 at 70 yrs old. He always played up on a high drum tower. When he settled his huge frame in behind the kit, everyone knew they'd better look out. This was going to be a bad mf'n performance. Taste and power. btw: I last saw them in 2001 as a 4 pc. The two guitarists traded parts, and covered the organ parts on guitar. It was so well done. They are the only two long time members in the band today.

  • @terryomalley1974
    @terryomalley1974 Год назад +3

    I think part of the reason Canadian rock bands back in the day were so effing good is the sane reason why Canadian comedians have been so successful in Hollywood: we Canadians combine the appropriate mix of American and British sensibilities, which is fundamentally the essence of Canada, although in recent decades, is tilting decidedly more towards American.
