Comment:

The waltz-tempo "Runnin' Down the Street" — written by the Guess Who's Jim Kale and Garry Peterson — owes a debt to Burt Bacharach, splitting the difference between the band's earlier hit "These Eyes" and the [i]other[/i] Burt's "Don't Make Me Over." "Proper Stranger," from the [i]American Woman[/i] album, hints at the diesel-powered ferocity that guitarist Randy Bachman would take with him when he exited the Guess Who later that year, ultimately to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive. And in "Lightfoot," one Canadian legend salutes another (Cummings and Gordon Lightfoot are longtime friends) with a folky tribute that's bio, homage, and valentine all rolled into one. And if you don't mind a little self-reflexive history lesson with your [i]chunka-chunka-chunka[/i], check out "When the Band Was Singin' 'Shakin' All Over'" for a decade's worth of Joe Sixpack rock wrapped up in just under six minutes.
