Cute . . . ! I was watching The Journal theother night and saw
an interesting interviewwith Holly Cole. She remembered when shewas
young, living in the Maritimes, andlistening to Stompin' Tom
Connors' radiocommercials for Prince Edward Island'sTourism

even to thisday, and promptly did . . . word for word,including the
telephone number, and she didit to Bud The Spud. (EC: That's
REALCanadian remembering . . . !)
Is this just the beginning ... ? There wasa time when
broadcasters were crying theblues and predicting that radio
stations wouldclose because of the hardships the Canconruling was
causing. Well, they are beginningto tighten up, close stations and
join forces.Some of them even make strange bedfellows.With the two
AM stations in Sault Ste. Mariewinding down, after I don't know how
manyyears of being on the air, the Cancon ruling,thankfully, isn't
at the base of the trouble. It'stight, or no money at all. While
the two ownersare able to consolidate their operations, whathappens
to the poor employees, and how manyof them are being turned out?
One Ottawa/Hull -based observer says this is just thebeginning.
Now, I'm wondering. If thosestations go off the air and the
licenses areturned into the CRTC, does that make thosefrequencies
open to whoever wants to makea bid for them? Stupid question?

It looks like 1992 could be another vintageyear for April
Wine.
The veteran Montreal rock group, whichbroke up in 1984, has
reassembled to do across-country tour which began recently
inWinnipeg. "The tour is giving us a chance togo out and play again
as a unit," says thegroup's leader, Myles Goodwyn.
April Wine's lineup includes four originalmembers: Goodwyn on
guitar and vocals;Brian Greenway on guitar; Jerry Mercer ondrums;
and Jimmy Clench on bass. NewcomerSteve Segal will also play guitar
on both thetour and an upcoming new album. Goodwynsays the album
will be released on a majorlabel this fall, but he won't identify
the labeluntil the final contracts have been signed.
Goodwyn has been working on new songsfor a year, but he says the
band's formulahasn't changed much since the glory days ofthe '70s
and early '80s. "They're definitelyApril Wine style. It's not a
totally newdirection. I guess the difference is more interms of the
arrangement of material and theproduction values in the
studio."
Since the band's break-up, Greenwayand Mercer have kept busy on
a number ofmusical projects. Goodwyn took time off torelax in the
Bahamas but returned a few yearsago to record a solo album and
produce someMontreal -area acts. He says people have beenasking

years ago, and bothhad made it known they would like to meet.
Linda Nash of Quality promotionsarranged front -row seats for
Hill and his wife.Benson's highly charged introduction to
hisperformance ofHill's composition was a crowdpleaser and provided
an emotional fewmoments for the very humble Hill.
Hill was expecting to take a few days offbefore continuing his
tour, but Nash had otherplans for him. She bundled him into her
carand, in 33 hours, visited radio stations in fivecities in

way back to spotIlight years, since the group still enjoys a
fairly high
profile through a healthy amount of rock radio airplay.
"The break has been very good and everybody's very positive. The
vibes are really
good again. It's fresh again. We're not getting together just to
make some money. It's very serious. It's taken a long time to
the

Casting underway for The Kander and Ebb Musical
Casting is currently going ahead in Toronto and New York for
five extraordinary
performers for the upcoming staging of And The World Goes 'Round
-- The Kander And Ebb Musical.
Their talents will have to be extraordinary in that they will be
required to not only sing
and dance, but twirl batons, hop on pianos, plunk banjos, ride
shopping carts, and even
time -step on roller blades. The musical is being produced by
The
Live Entertainment Corporation of Canada (LIVENT). Toronto's
recently refurbished
Bayview Playhouse will be the setting for the limited
engagement, which will begin previews
in November. The musical showcases the careers of
composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb, collaborators for 26
years. Their most recent
musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman, is currently playing
Toronto's St. Lawrence Centre.
The pair has written material for several star entertainers
including Frank Sinatra,
Barbra Streisand, Lauren Bacall, Shirley MacLaine, and Goldie
Hawn.
The musical will feature 30 songs from their many musicals,
including: New York, New York; How Lucky Can You Get; A Quiet
Thing; Cabaret; Maybe This Time; The Grass Is Always Greener;
All That Jazz; and Ring
Them Bells. Also to be featured are songs from their
film scores: Cabaret; Funny Lady; and New York, New York. Songs
from several television
specials will also be included. The musical was first staged in
the summer of 1989 with Oscar -winning actress
Olympia Dukakis as artistic director. It opened on March 18,
1991 at New York's Westside
Theatre, where it enjoyed a year -long run. It was the winner of
Drama Desk and Outer Critics' Circle Awards in 1991 for Best
Musical Revue, and was conceived by director Scott Ellis,
choreographer Susan Stroman and
librettist David Thompson, all of whom will collaborate in
staging the Canadian production.
The show's original designers, Bill Hoffman (scenic design),
Lindsay Davis (costume design), and Phil Monat (lighting
design), are also in for the Toronto production. Musical
direction and arrangements are by
David Loud, with orchestrations by David Krane.
RPM -July 25, 1992 -

eight -year layoff had never occurred. Still, he's confident
that the group's core audience will remember them and that the band
can
come up with material that willattract younger fans.
"If you don't have great songs, it's not going to happen. You
just hope that you've
written one or two great songs, at least, and the luck will be
with you."
The current tour has been drawing so much attention that it has
now been extended
through August and may also take in some American dates. The
group will treat fans to
most of its greatest hits, including You Could Have Been A Lady,
I'm On Fire For You Baby, You Won't Dance With Me, I Like To Rock,
Just Between You And Me, and Sign Of The
Gypsy Queen. The band will go into the studio to record
the new album after the tour. They will then hit the road again
to showcase the new material on another large-scale tour. Rock 'n'
roll is a
vicious game.
Loreena McKennitt set for Ontario Place Forum WEA recording
artist Loreena McKennitt
recently returned from a tour of Europe that included dates in
Spain, Portugal, England
and Ireland. The press she received, particularly in
Ireland, was exceptional. Also on her itinerary was a date at
London's Hammersmith Odeon and one at the Glastonbury Festival,
which also featured performances by Barenaked
Ladies and Spirit of the West. Back home in Canada, McKennitt is
busy recording music for Full Circle, a television
nature series. She will play the Ontario Place Forum in Toronto
on Aug. 7. Accompanying
her will be Steve Lucas (string bass), Rick Lazar (percussion),
Hugh Marsh (violin), Anne
Bourne (keyboards/cello), and Brian Hughes (guitars).
McKennitt is currently on release with a new single, Lady Of
Shallot, included on
Warner Music CD compilation 140. The track is also included on
McKennitt's WEA/Quinlan
Road album, The Visit, which has sold in excess of 100,000
copies (platinum) in Canada.
The album has been released in 26 countries.

713561005-2-0This terrific trio is a stalwart of the TorontoQueen
Street music scene with its uniqueblend of subtlety and power,
blues andJazz, and rock and swing. Leader GordieJohnson is a
versatile guitarist and arrangerand the veteran rhythm section of
TerryWilkins (Rough Trade, David Wilcox) onstand-up bass and Al
Cross (Jane Siberry,Raffi) on drums masterfully keep up
withJohnson's often improvised sounds. Thealbum was produced by the
band and TornTreumuth and was recorded live off thefloor with a
live audience, adding anotherelement of excitement to the project.
Onthis album the band is at its best on rockiernumbers like Come
Back Baby, MotherlessChildren, and Groundhog Day. The slow,rolling
blues of Sleep In Late and theLouisiana bayou -influenced Just
AboutSunrise are also done with exceeding skill.However, the sound
comes up just a littlebit flat on the jazz standards, BemshaSwing,
Stardust and 'Round Midnight. Butkudos should go out to the
Infidels' MollyJohnson for her vocal performance on thelatter song.

While there is no song asimmediately catchy as Colleen,

Open Road stand outamong the songs with lyrics. Israel Got aRabbit,
dedicated to the memory of reveredNewfoundland accordion player
RufusGuinchard, is tops among the fiveinstrumentals. While
enjoyable on disc,this music is best heard live. This is
anuplifting album that could, at leasttemporarily, take
Newfoundlanders' mindsoff the cod catch moratorium. - SM
DR. JOHN - Blues/JazzGoin' Back To New OrleansWarner - 9
26940-2-PThe old night tripper goes back to his rootsand gives
listeners a history of New Orleansmusic from the 1850s to the 19505
andbeyond. This is thefirst album Dr. John hasrecorded in New
Orleans, and onlymusicians native to the city were invited toplay,
giving it a down-home authentic feel.Milneburg Joys is a raunchy
yet soulfultake on an old Jelly Roll Morton song. TheNeville
Brothers provide soothing, harmonicbacking vocals on Do You Call
That ABuddy?. Good Night, Irene uses a muchmore lively and
contemporary arrangementthan when the Weavers first had a hit
withthe Leadbelly standard. Cabbage Head is afun song which
highlights the Doctorsbarrelhouse piano skills. My Indian
Red,Didn't He Ramble, How Come My DogDon't Bark (When You Come
Around), BlueMonday, and Scald Dog Medley/I Can't GoOn are other
standouts in this 18 -songcollection. An all-star group plays on
thetitle track which ends the album. PeteFountain contributes a hot
clarinet solo,while Al Hirt solos on trumpet and CharlesNeville
does the same on the tenorsaxophone. And the Neville Brothers
againcome through with some stirring vocalharmonies. Anyone
interested in the originsof New Orleans blues and jazz should
addthis album to their collection. - SM

birthplace. His new album should beamazing. State of Love and
Trust by PearlJam is another track to look out for. TheLovemongers
vocalist sounds so much likeRobert Plant on their live cover of
LedZeppelin's Battle of Evermore t hat it's almostscary. Mother
Love Bone's Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns also owes a debt to
Zep.Jimi Hendrix's May This Be Love is the onlyold track on the
album but it fits right in withthe new stuff. Other contributing
acts areAlice In Chains, Mudhoney, ScreamingTrees, Smashing
Pumpkins, andSoundgarden. Chris Cornell,Soundgarden's lead singer,
also does asolo number with acoustic guitar. I haven'theard much
about this movie but thesoundtrack could at least make it a hit

ME PHI MEOneBMG - 07863-61036-2-NThis debut album is somewhat
disjointed,pushes New Age -type messages, andsometimes borders on
pretentiousness, butdang it all anyways, it still contains at
leastfive excellent songs. Me Phi Me combineselements of rap,
acoustic rock, hip hop, folkand R&B into a hybrid he calls big
beatpoetry. Dream of You reminds me of twoother innovative rap
acts, the DreamWarriors and Shinehead. The acousticguitar on Sad
New Day and Road to Life andNot My Brotha's harmonica are
niceadditions to the rap and mellow danceelements. Black Sunshine
is a clear attackon homelessness. It takes the chorus fromJohnny
Nash's I Cart See Clearly Now andis highlighted by a ragamuffin rap
from DJPure Ruff Stuff. All in all, this is an
intriguingintroduction to a visionary 21 -year -oldartist. - SM

RFCD-9001-FThis album from five Cape Breton, N.S.siblings offers a
nice change of pace fromthe usual' are. Cookie, Heather and
Rayleneexcel both when singing solo or whiledelivering sweet
harmonies in support of alead. John Morris is a terrific fiddler
andisn't too shabby on the ivories either. Jimmyis the main
songwriter and also sings, playsacoustic guitar and drums. This
album isthe family's second and was quite popularin the Maritimes,
helping them earn threeEast Coast Music Awards in 1992. Capitolis
now releasing the first two independentalbums in order to bring
this talented groupmore widespread attention. The f irst
single,Orangedale Whistle, entered the RPM 100Country Tracks chart
at No. 91 last week.It's also a prime candidate for crossoveraction
on to the adult contemporary chart.,The rest of the album is made
up of Gaelicballads, traditionals with new arrangements,Middle
medley, an instrumernal jig and fouroriginal Rankin Family songs.
Key tracksinclude Fisherman's Son, Tell My Ma, andGillis Mountain.

TEMPLE OF THE DOGTemple Of The DogA&M - 75021 5350 4-0This
album was originally released lastApril and though it was
critically well -received, it didn't make much of a dent. Butin the
last year Soundgarden and PearlJam have exploded and, since this
one-offproject contains members of both bands,Temple Of The Dog is
now rocketing up thecharts in the United States. The same
willprobably happen up here. Temple Of TheDog consists of Chris
Cornell and MattCameron from Soundgarden and StoneGossard, Jeff
Ament, Mike McCready andEddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. The album'sfirst
two tracks were written by Cornell as atribute to the late Andrew
Wood, singer forMother Love Bone, who died of a heroinoverdose.
Reach Down extends to 11minutes and showcases McCready'sformidable
guitar skills. A newly re-editedvideo for Hunger Strike is making
wavesand it's an excellent candidate for rockradio, as is Wooden
Jesus. - SM
ALLPerco laterCruz Records - CRZ CD 022This is the fourth album
from All since theyascended from the ashes of punk heroes,the
Descendents, in 1988. The threeinstrumentals and Hey Bug are
easilydisposable but the remaining songs are inthe best pop -core
traditions of the Ramonesand the Undertones. The songs zip
throughat a caffeine -fuelled pace and many areunder two minutes
long. All band membersshare in the songwriting and the lyrics
arequite amusing on most tracks. More seriousissues are addressed
on Nobody's and EggTimer. All could be compared with the YoungFresh
Fellows and Dead Milkmen, butthey're capable of displaying more
maturitythan the latter. There are too many greattracks on this
disc to mention them all, butBreathe expands the horizons of the
genrewith its forays into blues and jazz. Thealbum was produced by
drummer BillStevenson and guitarist Stephen Egerton.My only
complaint? At 33 minutes long,Percolater leaves you wanting more. -

Much format change now more hits -orientedMuchMusic has changed
its programming toincorporate more music video flow into itsprime
time lineup.
The change, which took place July 6,means that the specialty
shows which used tooccupy the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. (ET) time slotshave
all been moved and rep laced by a quicker,hits -oriented format.
The station is gamblingthat people will follow the specialty shows
totheir new time slots while a larger audiencewill tune in to the
core programming.
MuchMusic put the specialty shows inprime time when it moved to
basic cable in aneffort to get its programming into
televisionlistings. Now that the specialty shows havebecome
institutionalized, it's hoped that theratings will be given a boost
by the newformat.
"We're in as many homes as we canpossibly get into now,"
explains John Martin,MuchMusic' s director ofmusicprogramming."And
our ratings are really good, but we seem'to have reached a plateau.
So if we're going togo the next mile, we're going to give this
ashot."
The core flow programming will play

more recurrent material and, as a result, thelight rotation
playlist has been shortened. Thestation will retain its Cancon
quota but moreobscure American and European videos willbe moved
from the rotation. "Hopefully thatstuff will show up in our
specialty shows, butit won't be in the flow as much," says
Martin.
Martin says people shouldn't worry thatthe programming change
will result in a strictTop 40 format at the station. "We don't
useanything with any resemblance to any radioplaylist that I've
ever seen.
"We basically play the best videosavailable from any source.
Just tightening upour playlist is not going to change the natureof
the station at all."
