The Guess Who...
American Woman
Just wondering. They're from my hometown, and made it a little in the US before breaking up. The guitarist was Randy Bachmann of BTO.

The group continued to release top 40 singles in Canada, like "Clock on the Wall" and even had one single "His Girl" scrape the lower reaches of the UK charts in 1967. However, a trip to the UK to promote this single proved to be a financial disaster as the single dropped off the charts after only one week,[2] and The Guess Who found themselves unable to get airplay or to book any paying gigs without work visas. They returned to Canada within a matter of weeks, thousands of dollars in debt.
Wasn't a great success for them.

Hmm. Maybe this thread will be their big break.
The songs are good.

I remember "American woman" from back in the day. Loved it, better than this modern crap

40 years ago called, they want their music back 😯
I very much doubt that they will get their big break in these days of lipsync and synthetic music.
Old tunes, but good all the same.

I heard American Woman on the radio the other day, my 1st thought was, "so that's where Josh Homme got his guitar sound from"...

better than this modern crap
What 'modern crap' would that be, then?
