FLUDD COUSIN MARY

[secordman]

I see they shut down that other fellow with the Canadian 45 singles. Well you're keeping the torch alive. Saw these boys at an Etobicoke high school, 1974.

[stevorocks50]

slap my ass and call me billy ......that is the finest

[DropPodFullOfPonies]

I chuckle at the label reading "From the album "...On!". Fludd wanted their album to be called "Cock On!" and be pictured as trench-coated flasher on the cover, but the label wouldn't allow it.

[csc269]

"cousin mary" just may be the best early 70's song by a non-major group...awesome!!!

[terledger]

I saw one of the band members playing with Ian Thomas just a few years ago. Cool..

[psychedelicsam1]

this song always reminded me of mcguinness flint and the sutherland brothers. great tune

[DropPodFullOfPonies]

No matter where I am in public - a restaurant, the mall, wherever - if I hear the opening harmonica notes floating from a loudspeaker, I stop dead in my tracks, tilt my head like an inquisitive dog, and do nothing but listen, enraptured, soaking the song in, until it ends. Then I go on my merry way.

Yeah, I love it. It's just brilliant.

[lesjack1]

A timeless classic! Well produced, written, performed . This song is right up there for me with Steel River's Ten Pound Note.

[ChadJHachey]

them pilling brothers sure could write a good song if you ask me

[nosleep62]

Nice A.M. friendly steal of Dylan's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" melody; perfect example of early 'seventies radio pop; thanks for sharing!

[PeasGraveny]

Never heard this before but I love it.

Reminiscent of a lot of great 70s music such as The Faces,The Band,McGuinness Flint etc.

Thanks for upping.

[dasspine58]

what a great classic

[simonferet]

nice



[Hathorspirit]

Fludd came to my highschool in the 70's and I took a pictuer with my Kodak Instamatic 124 of the lead singer sitting in a chair on the stage playing guitar and singing...I still have the photo somewhere.

[99AAAHHH]

I may be too young for this song, but I remember listening this song when I was younger, and it hasn't changed. It's still as good as ever.

[wilkes85]

This is the most pure, most beautiful song ever written.

[Cheessa]

Great memories, I remember this song very well from the early 70s. Dang...you just don't too many...or any FLUDD songs on the radio anymore.

The 70s were a fabulous decade for Canadian music

[johnnyreddy123]

you know its a classic when there are 0 dislikes!

[amcanmike]

reminds me of growing up in ontario canada in the 1970s ,oohh so nice

[74rockon]

good ole cousin mary now this is classic at its finest love it

[himycatisdead]

Thank you so much for starting this band you made my youth worth while.

[gtafanboy32]

This song was on the Canadian Mint LP

[tyme4mike]

@gtafanboy32 You had it too? Man, I played that album until there were no grooves left in it! This is one fine example of a "rock yourself back and forth and lose yourself" piece of classic Canadian music. What moving timeless memories. Thanks for uploading.

[57CANCAN]

I agree with rockybudgeboa and themuskokaman great musical era the 70s

[TheMuskokaman]

Man what an awesome tune great Canadian band I'm with rockybudgeboa on this one. I miss the seventies

[keyboardplyr]

There aren't many cool songs about women who "rock", but this one does. Thanks Fludd.

[6prereq]

GREAT GREAT under-appreciated Canadian tune!!!!

[rsensorat2]

@6prereq Wayyy under-appreciated. At least we can appreciate the great memories.

[riverdale999]

Canadian ealry 70's music is incredible. This song still lives. Still a club band and campfire staple.

[phonedoug]

[imajeepster]

[HBKanedge818]

Last week, this song played on the radio while me & my dad were driving down a country road in Vineland Ont to my Grandma's house. It fit the scenery prefectly.

[brioization]

in the days of the Hign shoool bands ...

[rockybudgeboa]

Great song - whatever the hell it's about. But who cares? Its a great upbeat singalong and takes you back to a happier time.

[MChelada]

Saw "This Beat Goes On" on CBC last night. Discovered a lot of songs I had heard were by Canadian bands, including this one.

[nguergis]

Oh ya...I love this song.,,.thanks a million for sharing it!

[wilkes85]

I absolutely LOVE FLUDD!!! i got one of their albums, but their stuff is a little hard to come across.

This is my absolute favourite, next to "Turned 21".

[amcanmike]

GREAT TUNE  OYEA

[mrceleb2006]

I've actually heard this song on western Newfoundland's classic rock outlet, 103.9 K-Rock, a few times.

[IamtheMeghan]

K-Rock is 9.75

Kixx Country is 103.9

[mrceleb2006]

Actually, K-Rock in St. John's is 97.5, but Kixx Country 103.9 in Corner Brook is really 103.9 K-Rock.

[IamtheMeghan]

Haha, My bad.

I forget that the channel number changes throughout the province. I'm in St.. John's so I know K-Rock as 9.75 and Kixx Country as 103.9

[mrceleb2006]

Oh, I see.  Kixx Country 103.9 is from Carbonear-Harbour Grace.

[johnnyreddy123]

@mrceleb2006 .....i live in st.john's......great song isn't it?

[pineraven]

I feel so good when I listen to this song. Not sure what the song means though? Anyone?

[dobsondo]

I love this song!!!!

[cleobren]

[johnnys55s]

I have that 45 this song used to stick in my head as a kid and remember walking to school in 72-73 grade 3 with it in my mind, good song even today.

[rebler]
