Stampeders - Against The Grain (1971)


The Stampeders are a bunch of Canadian cowboys that play their own version of 70's rock with a touch of country western. They were originally called The Rebounds & after a few line up changes came out with the tune Sweet City Woman that hit the charts in Canada & The U.S. It's the perfect track to jump in a truck, roll the window down, & go drive through the country side. Against The Grain is the Canadian version of the album. The U.S. version was renamed after the title track. Sadly, there is a lot of crap on their full release, but a few gems to make it worth a listen. Gator Road is a funky swamp-rock b-side while Man From PEI sounds like it could have been a big hit if The Who did it.
