Above is a flock of origami turkeys that I folded myself this week to have as decorations at Thanksgiving dinner.
From the 1985 album Running Wild.
Drawn from the 1971 album Distant Light, the single "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" actually had more success in other countries than it did in The Hollies' native UK. There the song topped out at #32 on the charts. In the US it reached #2, while it was a #1 chart-topping hit in both Canada and Australia. Tabbed here is the Intro.
| KX96 - Brandon, Manitoba (CKX-FM 96.1) - "Westman's Best Rock" |  |

This song is one part Newfoundland, one part Alberta, and one part Rudyard Kipling. Interesting mix. Taken from Big Sugar's 2001 CD Brothers & Sisters, Are You Ready?, the track is sung from the point of view of a down on his luck Newfoundlander, forced to leave his home (and loathe to do so) due to lack of employment, who is heading for the Alberta oil and natural gas fields where work is plentiful. "A Canadian story song" is how Big Sugar front man Gordie Johnson often introduces the tune in concert (including when I saw them at The Sound Of Music Festival in Burlington, Ontario back in June).
The song's title comes from a Rudyard Kipling quote. During a 1907 trip through Canada, witnissing the flares from the natural gas fields of Alberta inspired the famed English writer to comment, "This part of the country seems to have all hell for a basement, and the only trap door appears to be in Medicine Hat."

I've written here before about how much I like Jackson Hawke's debut album Forever (1976). (here) "She's the One" was the second single released from the album, the follow-up single to "You Can't Dance".

There was no sophomore jinx for Sass Jordan. Her second album, Racine (1992), produced five singles and won her Billboard magazine's Best Female Rock Vocalist award for 1992. The last of the singles released from the album was "Who Do You Think You Are". Tabbed here is the guitar solo.
