forgotten radio stations play forgotten things - the guess who's first album after bachman left - share the land. can't say i enjoyed it that much although after my introduction into the world of the boogie rock via the James Gang last weekend I at least began to understand where they were coming from. Unrelated, I think that Music from Big Pink is a terribly overrated album and if I hadn't sent my bs into Chunklet on the matter, I would add that to my list. anyway, the first song is this totally bizarre dis on people who ride public transportation called 'bus rider' which had this crude visciousness to it that, 32-years later, seems hilarious in its childish attitude. c'mon man, what's wrong with the bus? especially in fucking manitoba or wherever they're from. anyway, one of my least favorite oys of the piano is in gratutious honky tonk chatter thrown down under bands like this to give texture - it works in great rolling stones songs, is fabulous in early spiritualized and all over where layered with care. but this shit was awful. not that anyone reading this doesn't know deep in their hearts that the guess who sort of suck.
