We had the pleasure of interviewing The Guess Who over Zoom video!Earlier this year, Canadian rock legends The Guess Who shared their brand new LP, Plein D'Amour, via Deko Entertainment. Today, the band continues their album rollout with the release of a brand new video for the single, "People Around Me."On Plein D'Amour, band members Derek Sharp, Michael Staertow, Leonard Shaw, Michael Devin, and founding member Garry Peterson have crafted a collection of songs that raises the bar and continues to take it up a notch both musically and sonically. The album was recorded at Villa Sound in Singhampton, Ontario, Canada, with Adam Fair. It features other stand out tracks such as “Headline” and “Across the Line.” Artwork for the release was provided by world renowned graphic designer Ioannis (Deep Purple, Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, etc.).In February, The Guess Who shared the first single off their new album, "The King." Upon its release, the track immediately landed on multiple editorial Spotify playlists. With follow up singles "Plein D'Amour" and "Headline," the three tracks racked up over 250,000 streams collectively and making this record the highest new release in the band's history.The Guess Who Bio:The Guess Who is a legendary Canadian band who enjoyed chart topping hits in the late 60s and early 70s with an impressive catalogue of songs including "American Woman," "These Eyes," and "No Time." During the course of its career, the band has released 11 studio albums, and charted 14 Top 40 hit singles, 2 of which went to number one in the United States. The Guess Who is best known internationally for its 1970 album, American Woman, which hit number one in Canada and number nine in the United States, with five other albums also hitting the top ten in Canada. Their fan base spans multiple generations. Very few bands have survived numerous member changes — let alone having smash hits with each lineup — but The Guess Who's motto is “the music is the message.”The most recent and up-to-date version of the band has mastered a wildly entertaining romp through the early hits mixed in with their current creations while managing to take the whole experience to a new level. Their most recent musical offering is stunningly sophisticated, searingly emotional, and musically eclectic while remaining eminently singalongable.Their live show is a celebration of life, being alive, and thriving in these uncertain times. The Guess Who never leave anything less than their hearts on the stage at the end of every performance. We want to hear from you!

That makes him a full-fledged member of a significant guitar-playing fraternity that also includes Foreigner founder Mick Jones, Nils Lofgren and Vivian Campbell. Michael has been the focus of articles in Guitar World, Guitar One and Vintage Guitar magazines, and he was featured in Gbase.com's Gearhead Gazette as well as  featured on many popular podcasts.

There will be video to come...although I don't yet know the medium upon which I will present it.

On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Derek and Gary from The Guess Who. Pipeman tells the story of how he first heard of The Guess Who, through his older brother's album. He expresses his admiration for musicians that continue to come up with new material that is both good and fresh, and that's exactly what he sees with their new album. Pipeman asks Derek and Gary to tell us about the new album and what people can expect from it. Derek explains that the new album was a conscious effort, made with the aim of capturing the band's camaraderie in the recording. He further explains that the band was together for six days in one place, which was a wonderful experience. Gary explains that Derek is responsible for writing and producing the album, and it took him 60 years to get the band together to play this kind of music. He is thrilled to be associated with someone so talented that must be heard by the rest of the world. Derek adds that some of the songs were challenging, and they talked about doing stuff with difficult arrangements, but they just went for it. The band's passion and love for music and each other come out in their music. Pipeman acknowledges that not all bands are fortunate enough to have such a strong bond after working together for so long. He admires their respect for each other, which comes through in their music. Pipeman concludes by thanking Derek and Gary from The Guess Who for being on his show, saying he is looking forward to hearing more from them in the future.
