    APRIL WINE was definitely a GREAT BAND. If you were into Rock N roll , you definitely knew who they were back in the good ol days

    @claimguy ปีที่แล้ว +25

    April Wine had two guitarists always playing, and often three when Myles Goodwin wasn't on the piano or just handling lead vocals. They always had a lot "going on" as a result, but they managed to layer it together so well, with Jim Clench weaving up , down and around on the bass. They don't get enough credit for the melodic wall of sound and rhythm that resulted.

      Jerry Mercer on the drums was also kinda ridiculous even on a bad day, and he didn't have many bad days. Super tight rhythm section both (all three with the piano/keyboard) of whom could really open up and blow the roof off in their own right. Add the layered and often interleaved or harmonizing guitars and vocals into the mix and they just rock top to bottom and start to finish.

    I've had the pleasure of seeing April Wine 5 times when I used to live in Montreal. They always put on an amazing show and Jerry Mercer gave one of the best drum solo's I'd ever seen. Over 20 minutes while he took us on a journey with his African bird calls and everything. Great reaction. Would love to see more from them. Peace and love.

  • @resin3100my

    My favorite song of theirs is "Just between you and me".I also agree with the person who suggested "Sign of the gypsy queen".Both are great songs.

  • @russallert
    @russallert ปีที่แล้ว +14

    This was one of the staples of Canadian AM radio when I was growing up in the 70s. It's also got a bit of a Guess Who vibe because The Guess Who were THE biggest band in Canada then, so April Wine copped their sound to some degree and came up with their first big hit.

    • @greghaworth2758

    OMG - one the t0 best Canadian songs ever recorded. WOOHOO! Okay, you have heard the masterpiece, now go back and focus on the bass groove Jim Clench is laying down. Unreal - what an underrated player he was. If you like him here try "Drop your Guns" for some melodic funky thunder.

    • @bumperu

  • @rmacdougallaliasdogviticus

    April Wine has some great tunes. I'd suggest 'Cum Hear the Band, Drop Your Guns, Oowatanite, Rock n; Roll is a Vicious Game, Roller, Tonite is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love or The Whole Worlds Going Crazy". All great tunes. Cheers.

  • @gordowg1wg145
    @gordowg1wg145 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It was written in '69 and released a couple of years later - fits right in to the "free love" promisuity era. Might be some chap who wants her but she isn't interested and has her own ideas who she wants to be with.
    So, I think Brad nailed it, she's a player never short of playing partners.

  • @KDLSDKD
    @KDLSDKD ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a cover song by April Wine. it was originally written for Hot Chocolate in the UK in 1971. It never made it to the North American charts, until in 1972 a Canadian rock band (April Wine) from Nova Scotia took it and covered it in their way. "Could have been a lady" is based on the experience of one of the writers (Errol Brown) who had a girlfriend that failed to show up on dates. She was seen as a Lady of the Night later on. It is his sense of the fall of a woman's empty glamour and a life of prostitution.(copied)

    April wine has so many fantastic songs. A couple of my favorites you guys should check out. "Child's Garden and Comin right down on top of me" . Both songs start out slowly but really rock. Both songs really showcase Myles Goodwin's voice

  • @OronOfMontreal
    @OronOfMontreal ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the great things about being a teenager in Montreal, in the 1970s and 80s, was that we were exposed to the best music, TV and movies from all over the world.
    We got the U.S. television channels over the air with our rabbit-ear antennae, plus BBC and ITV TV comedies and dramas. We heard Rock and Pop music from the U.S., from Great Britain, from France, Germany, Italy, Holland, and many African countries, plus from Canada in French, English and even in Cree or other First Nations languages.
    And our movie theaters showed films from all over the world. We got Spielberg and Scorsese, we got Veber from France, we got Quebecois cinema, plus European, Middle-Eastern, and South American and African films.
    Montreal became a creative hub where artists in all fields gathered from all countries, to get a sense of the entire world's richness and wondrous creativity. For us locals, for the price of a beer, we could see a Rock show or an art gallery opening, or a film premiere or a video installation, that you in the U.S. couldn't dream about. It was even better than New York City, in some ways.

    Hello Brad and lex, April wine is definitely a band that doesn't get a lot of love they have certain hits here of the US but they were much bigger in Canada, If you like their songs check out from their 3rd album electric jewels, A song called lady run, lady Hide And there's also another good song on there called weeping willow That's really good they've had a ton of albums. Their 1st 1 was from 1971 and it's more psychedelic Which was the popular style of the time, And their last album was in 1984, They also had an album In 1986 but most people don't consider it their album because most of the band had left by them and been replaced by other members and there's a lot of saxophone instead of guitar, Keep up the great work And I really enjoy You guys is Reactions and the conversations we have about the music we listen to Keep going and have Great day or night.

    Brad got it, writer Earl Brown, was waiting for his "Date" to show up for dinner, she no showed, and he found out later she was a lady of the evening. Hot Chocolate released it in 1969, this is April Wine's cover from 72 which went Top 10 in Canada, and also Top 10 in various areas of the USA, #2 in Cleveland, #5 in The Twin Cities and Dayton Oh. and #7 in Macon Georgia etc.
