The best Guess Who album ever. As a sound engineer, amongst other hats I wore, I used this song for testing audio systems since the early seventies. Wait a minute, Wheatfield Soul was their best album. Okay, both albums are number uno.
As to the Barrabbas issue. True enough, it wasn't him on the cross, he was the one let go...according to Christian scripture. But, hey, it works in the song fine for me.
AdamsApple: you are correct! I did see that movie, now that I think about it. But that ending was pureT legend/mythology. It'd be lame if Guess Who based their song on that. This song was a 10.0 in my book. Comes down to a 9.5 if not just for being historically inaccurate. Sorry, just my opinon.
I'm curious about the mis-reference to Barabbas on the cross. Barabbas was not crucified. He was freed by Pontius Pilate. Only Gestas and Desmas (the two 'thieves') were crucified w/Jesus.
@BillyFudpucker If you ever saw the movie, "Barabbas," with Anthony Quinn in the title role, he does get crucified in the end. This was many years after Jesus died.
Always had this album around. First on record and 8-track, then on cassette, and now CD. Especially like the song "Old Joe". Reminds me of my father. Everyone called him Joe. I miss him! I've got almost all of their albums on CD and I have their DVD concert...it's unbelievable!!!
Wonder if Randy still has his sitar? Not everything ages well.

I've been a professional drummer for over 40 years now & I have to say this features one of the tastiest & coolest drum solos ever recorded IMHO!
