Pop Bits: April Wine were stars in their home country of Canada years before their US breakthrough. Although a popular touring band here, they only had minor chart success; while in Canada they amassed 32 chart songs with 6 of them Top 10 hits.
ReduxReview: Redneck bar music. Bleh. I think this would be Canada's equivalent to our Southern rock. What would that be? Ontario rock? Hmm. I'll give them a couple points for including Beatles and Stones licks at the end, which I guess are there to prove they like to rock.
ReduxRating: 3/10
Trivia: Like many bands with a long career, April Wine seemed to be a revolving door of musicians. From their inception until present, they have had only one constant original member - lead vocalist/guitarist Myles Goodwyn.
