Description
Digitally remastered and expanded edition. The Guess Who proved they could weather a significant personnel change with 1970's triumphant Share The Land. The 1971 follow-up, So Long, Bannatyne saw the band branching out, embracing more eclectic and less polished and commercial material, much of it with a considerably darker hue than the band's earlier material and heavily influenced by John Lennon's visceral Plastic Ono Band. A fascinating lyrical continuity emerges that reveals a band and it's principal writers burdened by success, cynical, tormented; the result being a kind of ad hoc concept record centering around themes of desperation, anger, disillusionment and resignation, topics frontman Burton Cummings would continue to explore throughout the rest of The Guess Who's lifespan.

I really don't give a #@$% who's in the hall of fame, but yes, close at least.

The problem with halls of fame is that you always have to draw the line somewhere, and nobody ever agrees who should be on which side of the line. Leads to boring discussions that are never resolved. I'd rather spend my time listening to music.

The Guess Who were really good. That's all you really need to know.
