2007 release featuring the former leaders of the Guess Who (Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings) tackling some of their favorite jukebox faves including 'I'm Happy Just to Dance with You', 'Little Queenie', 'Baby Come Back', 'Judy in Disguise' and an updated version of their very own 'American Woman' VIK.

There's still magic in this partnership.
The hits written by Bachman and Cummings were special. The only regrettable thing about them is there's too few of them, the two men's partnership having dissolved long before they did all they might have done together. While this disc contains no new writing collaborations, it's the next best thing, showing how these two can make old songs their own through interpretation. The only misfire is an unnecessary version of "Like a Rolling Stone." Everything else is enjoyable, and a few are stand outs, including a jazzy version of "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" and a hugely appealing version of "Don't Talk to Him," originally by Cliff Richards and the Shadows. If you enjoy the work of Cummings and Bachman, together and/or separately, and you own albums beyond the greatest hits collections of the Guess Who and BTO, then you'll enjoy Jukebox.

very good transaction
excellent collaboration between these 2, who go way back-- great addition to Guess Who library...too bad they had to sever ties with the band; they were the heart & soul and talent--

Old Tunes Live On!
This release is an absolute gem. Although all of the songs are familiar, I can't get them out of my mind. The CD rocks. "The Walk" is first rate and the less familiar Cliff Richard tune "Don't Talk to Him" is just great. Rock music has a tendency to either throw great songs away or to insist on listening to "the original artist/recording" etc. This disc says loud and clear that there is more to rock than that.

Friends Again
Randy and Burton working nicely together once again. Nothing earthshattering here, but if you like these guys you'll enjoy them handling some old pop tunes..

Exceeded my expectations. Great roots rock!
I don't usually buy music without sampling it first but decided to take a chance. I am very glad I did. Great hard driving renditions of rock and roll roots music, with wonderful performances. Not a single clinker in the bunch. I found myself tapping time while listening to it. Lots of fun!

Just learned about this CD when Burton Cummings played a track at recent concert. Immediately ordered it. Great music by Cummings and Bachman!
