Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Swamp Music" appeared on the band's second album Second Helping (1974, pictured). This double-platiunum selling album is most noted for featuring the band's biggest hit, "Sweet Home Alabama". The album peaked at #12 on Billboard. "Swamp Music" has also been featured on many Skynyrd compilation/greatest hits albums, such as Skynyrd's Innyrds (1989), What's Your Name (1997), and The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd (1998).Second Helping was the first of their albums to feature the three guitar attack that became a signature of the band's sound. In various parts of "Swamp Music" you can hear three guitar parts being played at the same time. I've kept the tab to two guitar parts, though, for the sake of clarity. (Sometimes just trying to follow a double-staffed part is confusing enough without getting into triple-staffing.) And even with two guitar parts it makes for a long tab. There's plenty going on in this song, so the biggest challenge was trying to separate the guitar parts, and figure out what each one was playing.

The title song of Blue Rodeo's 1992 album Lost Together was also the album's most successful single. Both single and album peaked at #3 on the Canadian charts, with the album achieving double-platinum status. It also marked the first time the band chose to produce itself.
). For that setting, I'd opt for upbeat or harder rocking songs.
In 1978, Chilliwack released their seventh album, Lights From the Valley (pictured), the follow-up to their successful Dreams Dreams Dreams album. Despite a lack of promotion due to financial troubles at Mushroom Records, the album yielded a hit in the band's cover version of "Arms Of Mary". 
In the mid-1980's, the song "New Girl Now" helped Honeymoon Suite to win Toronto radio station Q107's "Homegrown" contest for unsigned artists. Shortly afterward, the band signed with WEA Records.
