Robert Lawson, insider and expert on The Guess Who and author of ‘Wheatfield Empire’, the definitive comprehensive history on The Guess Who, returns for a second chat with Dan Hare. In this riveting conversation Dan and Robert wade through facts, rumours, insights, contradictions, complications, questionable conduct, and and an “unsavoury character” as they look at the controversy surrounding the lawsuit launched by Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings against the current usage of The Guess Who name and likeness.
Interview with The Guess Who
We had the pleasure of interviewing The Guess Who over Zoom video!
Earlier this year, Canadian rock legends The Guess Who shared their brand new LP, Plein D'Amour, via Deko Entertainment. Today, the band continues their album rollout with the release of a brand new video for the single, "People Around Me."
On Plein DâAmour, band members Derek Sharp, Michael Staertow, Leonard Shaw, Michael Devin, and founding member Garry Peterson have crafted a collection of songs that raises the bar and continues to take it up a notch both musically and sonically. The album was recorded at Villa Sound in Singhampton, Ontario, Canada, with Adam Fair. It features other stand out tracks such as âHeadlineâ and âAcross the Line.â Artwork for the release was provided by world renowned graphic designer Ioannis (Deep Purple, Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, etc.).
In February, The Guess Who shared the first single off their new album, "The King." Upon its release, the track immediately landed on multiple editorial Spotify playlists. With follow up singles "Plein DâAmour" and "Headline," the three tracks racked up over 250,000 streams collectively and making this record the highest new release in the bandâs history.
The Guess Who Bio:
The Guess Who is a legendary Canadian band who enjoyed chart topping hits in the late 60s and early 70s with an impressive catalogue of songs including "American Woman," "These Eyes," and "No Time." During the course of its career, the band has released 11 studio albums, and charted 14 Top 40 hit singles, 2 of which went to number one in the United States. The Guess Who is best known internationally for its 1970 album, American Woman, which hit number one in Canada and number nine in the United States, with five other albums also hitting the top ten in Canada. Their fan base spans multiple generations. Very few bands have survived numerous member changes â let alone having smash hits with each lineup â but The Guess Whoâs motto is âthe music is the message.â
The most recent and up-to-date version of the band has mastered a wildly entertaining romp through the early hits mixed in with their current creations while managing to take the whole experience to a new level. Their most recent musical offering is stunningly sophisticated, searingly emotional, and musically eclectic while remaining eminently singalongable.
Their live show is a celebration of life, being alive, and thriving in these uncertain times. The Guess Who never leave anything less than their hearts on the stage at the end of every performance.
