Yet another great Canadian band. Their biggest hit was My Girl.
Great song...great band!!!
Thanks for the reaction to a local favourite!! One more song of theirs that you would enjoy is "Rain-O"! Give it a try one fine day somewhere down the road!
A staple on Canadian classic rock stations. IMO, one of the great Canadian rock songs. I grew up near Chilliwack, B.C. (pronounced Chill-ih-wack) They have a ton of hits still played on Canadian radio, and their greatest hits is well, great. They were apparently known for playing very loud back in their heyday. Its so awesome to have you review and react to this song. On a side note, its always reminded me in structure of Boston's More Than A Feeling.
"Something I Like About That" is my fave. Their name is after the city in British Columbia.
Chilliwack had some really good songs, my favourite being Crazy Talk. Other awesome Chilliwack songs are Communication Breakdown, Baby Blue, Lonesome Mary, My Girl (Gone Gone Gone), Arms of Mary and I Believe. They're worth checking out for sure.
Chilliwack gets regular air play on my classic rock radio station here in Canada. It's interesting that you have never heard of Chilliwack, but I know every note of this song.
This and Say Hello by April Wine are 2 of my fav Canadian rock songs
Another one to check out from them is "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" it was their biggest hit in the U.S
The Recess Monkeys (John Candy, Eugene Levy & Rick Moranis) did a great cover of it on SCTV 🤣
@@CharCanuck14 I just watched the video now. The harmonies were terrific...🤣🤣
'Ole Audiophile to JustJP: Storytime!... I had an audiophile pal who had a sincere taste in introducing us to the unusual or odd. He'd been whipping the dead horse on Head East when he came across the Canadian Chilliwack. We purchased tickets so we could both see them at Akron Civic Theater. Now few folks played the Civic because it was a cherished relic firetrap but very much still loved & tenderly cared for. We sat for the show & were in for a treat. As it rarely happened, a band we'd heard little about locally was the main act. We stuck around for we were unfamiliar with their music...or so we believed. Chilliwack blew us away. Soon after, out strutted the main act. Razamanaz was their first song, rumbles of familiarity came from within. A few songs in, out popped a brand new massive hit called Hair Of The Dog. They blazed right into This Flight tonight on the very next number with about a billion watts of white light blasting straight into our faces for the repeated chorus. Stunned would be incorrect, we were completely gobsmacked by an act we'd barely even heard of. Nazareth buried the entire crowd of 2,500 souls & turned them into babbling converts programmed to buy-out what-ever Nazereth albums we could find. We wished for a great warm up act, we never dreamed a cold listen could gather that much steam. Thanx, forEVER Nazareth Fans!
Nazareth were well know in Canada because every rock/pop station was constantly playing their cover of "This Flight Tonight" for two reasons. One it rocked and the second because it qualified as Canadian content since Joni Mitchell wrote it.
Nick, knack, paddywhack. Had to grab a guitar, and go on the attack!. Been a dog's age, since I heard Chilliwack. Now Neil, Gordo, and all the great Canadian bands are calling me back. Peace & Love, from an old quack!
Our favourite old duck.
New subscriber just found your channel from an old Buddy Rich drum solo you reacted to. Another song from another great Canadian group which is similar to this song is Say Hello by April Wine
Love Chilliwack. This whole album is great and is one of those "must have" albums
That album has been played regularly for years. One of my top 10 albums.
Remember when this album and song came out in '77? Very taken with them then very little else was heard from them.
See, I told you the "seventies" sound had some good things 😅
Never heard of them. JP, your channel is not like those who listen to artists we, prejudiced ones like me, have a kind of a clue. So in this channel we can't reject them and there we go, listening to what you are proposing. That's great😊
Love this track. Have always liked Chilliwack. Another great band out of the B.C. lower mainland. Along with Prism, Bryan Adams, Trooper and others.
Every time I hear this song I hear Neil Young as well.
They are a Canadian band from Chilliwack, British Columbia Canada which is how they got their band name
The town of Chilliwack helped finance the band IIRC.
I was born in Chilliwack, 1961. We lived on the same street as the Henderson's, the lead singer's family. .
Cool.
I enjoy your reviews, thanks JP. New Canadian recommendation: Grapes of Wrath "All the Thing I Wasn't". Short song but gripping. Chilliwack also has quite a few more songs that are great.
Ty 67!
OOOOH The Grapes of Wrath! A blast from the past!!!! ;)
The lead in gave me Bread vibes
Saw them open for Lighthouse.
Love Lighthouse (and Crowbar)
Thank you for reacting to this awesome song!
At the time this came out I don't recall it getting much airplay on regular pop stations. However we were lucky here in the St. Louis area to have radio station KSHE FM (Real Rock Radio). They played a lot of album tracks you did not hear on regular pop radio and this was one that got pretty good play time. Have not heard it in ages. Glad it's getting revived.
Good track. Never heard of them.
You need to try Chilliwack's best known tune "Gone Gone Gone (My Girl) there is great vocals in that 1981 song - you'll love it.
Try their song “Crazy Talk”. Really cool.
Opening was super Neilish but that’s fine with me. Enjoyed the classic sound of this, some may poo poo it but I need some classic stuff once in a while to remember the good old days. It’s a good sign if I reach for my guitar… I did.
Agree - bit of a Neil Young vibe in the beginning. Pleasant 70s rock.
I got kind of a cross between Young & the lead singer of Bread
Great band. From reminds me of Prism from the same era. Give Armageddon or Spaceship superstar a listen if you haven't heard of these guys
Neil Young is also from Canada, so maybe that singing style is a regional thing. I've known this song for a long time, it's the kind of thing that plays in your head.
And there was me thinking he was just doing his best N.Y. impression :) But turns out it's likely more a geographic thing, interesting.
Well they're from opposite ends of the country so no. It's like saying New York and LA are in the same region. Chilliwack is just outside Vancouver on the West Coast and Neil Young is from Toronto which is near Buffalo.
@@phildureau1279 Neil was born in Toronto but his music career started in Winnipeg.
Burton Cummings of the Guess Who and Fred Turner, lead vocalist of BTO are also from Winnipeg and of that era and their vocals are nothing like Bill's and Neil's.
@@maruad7577 True - The Guess Who and BTO are more of a Pop/Rock genre, and the instruments are less folk-oriented. They've had their share of hit songs, although Chiliwack got lots of radio air play with this one.
Love that refrain, takes me back to when my mom would blast this album. AHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! 🔥
I think it is a standard rock song as well, It did the things it does well. As for Bill's voice, I think both started their musical careers around the same time. Bill's wiki page doesn't mention where he started though I suspect it was in Vancouver while Neil Young's started in Winnipeg. I don't know if Henderson was influenced by Neil's vocals or not but it is possible as Buffalo Springfield released their first album in 1966 and The Collectors (of which Bill was a member) released in 1967. I don't know if Neil's band, from his playing days in Winnipeg, played in the B.C. Lower Mainland {which includes Vancouver and the town of Chilliwack iirc) but it wouldn't surprise me. The Guess Who of that era certainly played across the Prairies in those days. I could see one of more of the Winnipeg bands playing all the way across Western Canada.
I think a lot of Canadian bands, with their roots in the 50s and 60s, were aiming for top #40 songs because, in their minds, it was what made the most sense economically. Not many people could afford to go live in Great Britain so their exposure to progressive rock would be limited to what was on FM radio and that was often limited to certain times in the evening/night in a lot of markets.
Please 🙏 do a Reaction If you Haven’t Already Done So to the song Gone Gone Gone ( My Girl ) this is a Great Song !!!!!!! I first heard that particular song on A Sirius XM Radio Channel many years ago and I never heard it either on VH1 or on MTV when it first came out but when I did Hear it I was Hooked on It and I Still Am Hooked to It. If I’m not Mistaken this Band is in the Canadian version of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks JP
I was also thinking of Neil Young in the earlier part. They move into something different later, but yes, I'd say if two of us think so, that proves it as a fact. :D
If you want something else that doesn't pretend to be anything more than just rock, but has more crunchy bits, you might enjoy *Maintenance Man of the Haunted House* (by *GBV*) ua-cam.com/video/X_d4QWsTnOs/v-deo.html
(I think it's about a maintenance man of a haunted house, or something like that. It's a bit spooky. Probably a bit spooky doing the maintenance on all the now missing remembered fittings of a haunted house. Ectoplasmic wash basin has a dripping ectoplasmic tap, so maybe replace the ectoplasmic washer and see if that doesn't help. And hope the ghost doesn't brush past you like some air snake of immateriality while you're ripping things apart with the monkey wrench. Put that way, it makes a reasonable song topic, I think?)
Too many chords to be like Neil Young. LUL Sorry, I couldn't resist taking the shot. I'm actually a small time Neil Young fan. I agree with your reaction. Midway I was going to write how the song dots all the rock n roll Is and crosses all the Ts. Odd name but I hear a decent sound.
Not heard of these guys, but looking at their bio sounds like no one outside North America has either :) Yeah... not fussed, a little too MOR, pop/rock for my liking. The geet riffs weren't great, and it was deffo too long. All rather 'ordinary' I thought.
