Not the real thing, July 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Down The Road (Live) (Audio CD)
Recently, the real Guess Who--meaning Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman, and other original members--reunited. So why would you want this soulless, lifeless attempt by former member Jim Kale to tread on the true classic band's name? In addition, Kale isn't even on the thing! Wait for the video and live album from the 2000 reformation to be released, buy Live at the Paramount or American Woman, but forget this dreck. One further footnote: Carl Dixon is the worst replacement for a replacement for a replacement for a replacement for a replacement for a replacement singer in the history of rock. Get it?

Ever stop to look at an accident on the freeway?, July 19, 2001
This review is from: Down The Road (Live) (Audio CD)
That's the morbid curiosity that brought me to purchase this CD. I guess I just wanted to hear this band try to put these songs over as their own. Frightening. I mean, really, it's not that it's BAD, but how can ANYONE but Burton Cummings sing these songs as "The Guess Who?" One play and filed along with the multitudes of [junk] that I keep for amusement. Definitely stay away from this one if you really want "The Guess Who" but definitely grab it if you want to watch them pull the bodies out of the flaming car from the other side of the road.

should be NO stars, July 24, 2002

This review is from: Down The Road (Live) (Audio CD)
The Guess Who IS Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman. This particular CD is homemade, released on a homemade label. Don't believe any review that says this is worth anything at all--any of Jim Kale's bands had no artistic credibility at all. Ask yourself this: This particular recording has five musicians, NONE OF WHICH had anything to do with the original recordings by the orginal Guess Who--except the drummer, who didn't write or sing. So why would you want to bother. As for this being the band's "best lineup," this isn't the Guess Who. Get this CD outta print--it's worthless. Don't be a sucker!!
