Sweet City Woman Stampeders Cover

Let's hear it for Calgary's Finest.. The Stampeders!!! And what a great One Hit Wonder they were..
This song was classy, well-played, and quite rockin'... I LOVED this... Up there with the Bay City Rollers best I'd say.. :))
I actually saw these guys as a kid of 12 or 13 at the remains of Canada's Expo '67 when I went there with my folks in (I think) '69 or 70ish.. Heard them play 'Hit The Road Jack' live.. that was rather rare and cool.. But not as cool as their BIG hit..

Another sexy song - and everyone knows the city women beat out the country girls every time!! ;)

Are we sure about that??

Thanks for all your comments...

well they might've been a one hit wonder down your way but up here north of the 49th we heard all their hits, i.e., "Oh My Lady", "Carry Me" and "Wild Eyes". anyways this was a fantastic job on a Canadian classic! love that you added the electric guitar to this!

[podline66]

Thanks. I am learning from many listeners how many hits they had up your way. Unfortunately, Casey Kasem's 'Canadian Top 40' never aired here... ;)

Larry....Just like with every time i am here, i love it...Your untouchable voice and the sweet sounds of your guitars....If i tried to rate you on your music, it would be worthless to try.....And, do you know why?......Because it is PRICELESS, my friend:).....ione marie....this is a fabulous version of this one hit wonder song.....

@cstbbowerman I think this is great too. If you hate covers, you must've never heard kd laing do Hallelujia or Billie Holiday do Body And Soul or Glen Campbell do Gentle On My Mind or Willie Nelson do Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain or Neil Young do Four Strong Winds or The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band do Mr. Bojangles or Frank Sinatra do My Way or Roberta Flack do First Time Ever I Saw Your Face or ...

Love this version of this song but can not see the chord structure he is playing on the guitar.

Awesome cover! Can you please share the chords? Thank you.

Larry...I love this version of your's....It's addictive and there is no way i can just sit still and listen...Believe me, i've tried.....I tap my fingers, dance the only way i can , sing with you, and just smile....This is a fabulous cover here, but that is a given when it comes to you....ione marie

Excellent Cover man! I was 8 years old when this song debuted and loved it then as a kid as I still do now. What great music.

Cheers,

I like this!!! This is as good as the original, but with a distinct feel all its own. Great job!!!!
