I can't think of another band in the world that utilized a back-up singer the way Kim Mitchells band did. For years I thought Kim was singing the whole thing because I never saw him live or in video. Its amazing how well Mitchell and Fredette compliment each other and take their songs to new levels with this approach. Fredette deserves credit for sticking with Kim all these years because I'm sure he could have done successfully on his own if he wanted to. He had the voice but Kim had the rock.
My favorite Kim song.Pete's voice just sends it over the top.This song is a memory of a woman who jilted me.waiting by the phone.Its hard to listen to this song w/o tearing up.It's a great song,because when a song can move you to a deep emotion then that's what music is all about.
I have to point out that Fredette, while singing his arse off in the chorus of this amazing song, IS PLAYING THE BASS NOTES WITH HIS FEET ON TAURUS PEDALS. And there should be no question that Kim is one the most talented guitarists on the planet... witness the end guitar solo.
Peter Fredette can do it all,, Bass,, keyboards,,drums,,guitar,,and if ever a song should be a rock anthem,,this is it,,Canadian summers ,,,Oh Ya,,,Canadian summers..and Kim Mitchell still is the shit,,,guitar wizzard
goose bumps...nice everything
