From the unusually titled album ... On! (1972) comes Fludd's "Always Be Thinking Of You". (For the story on the titling of this album see this previous blog post 
Sometimes you take a flyer on an album, even when you don't know too much about a band. You've heard a couple of songs and hope you like the rest. I did this back in the 70's with Jackson Hawke's debut album Forever (1976). And to this day it's one of my favourite Canadian "hidden gem" albums from the 70's.
In what's been a mostly overcast and rainy week, this seems like an appropriate tab to be posting, (although it's quite nice out today.) So, by request, "Blowing the Blues Away", a relaxed feel-good tune from Max Webster's 1976 self-titled debut album. Like "Let Go the Line", the previous Max tab posted here, this song was penned by keyboardist Terry Watkinson. While it seems like a pretty straightforward song, there are some things about the tab that I'm not sure about. Those things are outlined in the "Notes" section of the tab itself.
In 1974, Five Man Electrical Band scored a Top 10 hit in Canada with the song "Werewolf". The single, which peaked at #6, first appeared on the LP The Power Of The Five Man Electrical Band, a greatest hits compilation that was released in 1975. This same album was later re-issued on CD under the title of Absolutely Right: The Best Of Five Man Electrical Band. 
The Runaways are certainly topical these days, what with the feature film about their career that's currently in theatres. The film originally had a working title of Neon Angels: The Runaways. I guess that was abandoned somewhere along the line, since the final title seems to be simply The Runaways. That working title came from the fact that the movie is based on lead singer Cherie Currie's 1989 autobiography Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story.
