The Guess Who
#10 |
|
|
#10,
originally released in 1973, represented The Guess Who's
10th album with lead singer/pianist Burton Cummings at the
helm. Appropriately, #10 was more focused on Cummings' voice
and songs than the Guess Who albums that immediately
preceded it. While this caused some dissention in the band,
the music by no means suffered. #10 is among The Guess Who's
more underrated albums, but includes a typically strong and
diverse set of songs, touching on country-rock ("Lie Down,"
a revisit of Bachman-Cummings' "Miss Frizzy"), prog ("Musicione")
and incisive, orchestrated balladry (the hit single "Glamour
Boy," presented here in both its original version and in a
stripped-down, non-orchestrated mix as a bonus track).
In-depth liner notes by Guess Who authority Ralph Chapman
(Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage, Metal Evolution) draw on
commentary from Cummings, drummer Garry Peterson, guitarist
Donnie McDougall, bassist Bill Wallace, and arranger Allan
Macmillan. Remastered by Vic Anesini, #10 is the sixth
release in Iconoclassic's acclaimed Guess Who reissue
