The Guess Who were a Canadian rock band who achieved international success with the 1970 hit singles “No Time” and “American Woman”.
Formed in Winnipeg in 1960, they had a Canadian No.1 in 1965 with “Shakin’ All Over” while still called Chad Allan & the Expressions. But the records were credited to “Guess Who?”, as a marketing gimmick designed to get the public guessing that the song might be a secret side-project by a big-name star. By the time their real identity was revealed, they were so well known as “Guess Who?” that they were forced to take it on as their real name.
In 1968 they changed the name to “The Guess Who” (without a question mark), and they enjoyed a US Top 10 hit the following year with “These Eyes”. Their biggest success came with the 1970 release of American Woman: the title track was the first Canadian song to top the US charts, and it topped the Canadian chart and made an impression in the UK too. “No Time” also went to No.1 in Canada, and made the US Top 5.
Guitarist and songwriter Randy Bachman then left to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and the band struggled to replicate their earlier success, though they still had several minor hits. “Clap for the Wolfman” (1974) was a Top 10 hit on both sides of the border, but the band broke up the following year.
Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the May 2006 Issue of Stereophile!
AMERICAN WOMAN - NUMBERED OUT OF PRINT EDITION - Despite a previous Top 40 hit “These Eyes” from Wheat-field Soul, success was evasive south of the Canadian border for The Guess Who. American Woman ignited U.S. interest in the then 7-year old rock band from Winnipeg. The certified Gold Record contains three Top 40 singles (“No Time”, “No Sugar Tonight” and the ubiquitous title track). It successfully bridged the gap between 60’s poprock and 70’s stadium rock.
The Guess Who’s next album Share the Land contained the hit title track, a rallying cry against corporate greed and warmongering, though in a less affronting manner than “American Woman.” The band officially broke up in 1975, but continues in various guises today.
Cisco continues its mission to bring great records to the public with breath-taking improvements in sound. Where original LPs (and CD reissues) of American Woman are thin, grainy and lacking in bottom-end. Kevin Gray and Robert “Mr. Record” Pincus have brought out of the original master tapes wide dynamics, rich bass extension and a clarity that will blow your mind. Now you can have the classic songs and amazing musicianship of The Guess Who wrapped in sound worthy of their work. So pick up a copy today, put it on your turntable and crank it up! Your neighbors may not be happy, but we guarantee you will be.

Rockin , originally released in 1972, represented a back-to-basics album for The Guess Who. The twin-guitars of Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw power one of the band s hardest rocking releases. Yet in true early 70s Guess Who fashion, Rockin features an all-inclusive definition of rock, from the heavy riffs of opening track and single Heartbroken Bopper, the 50s-styled boogies Get Your Ribbons On and Running Bear, the harmony-driven Smoke Big Factory, the socially conscious Guns, Guns, Guns, and the psychedelic multipart suite that closed the original album. A longtime cult-favorite among their fans,
