DAY BY DAY: APRIL WINE - ELECTRIC JEWELS

April Wine's Third Album: Electric Jewels (1973)

• Founding members David and Richie Henman quit during the recording of this album, and were replaced by Jerry Mercer and Gary Ma.
• The album opens with a heavy metal vibe song called "Weeping Widow".
• The second song, "Just Like That", is a driving rock song with a nice chorus.
• The title track, "Electric Jewels", is a six-minute long throwback to the hippie vibe from their first album that the host does not like.
• The fourth song, "You Opened My Eyes", is a boring acoustic ballad that does nothing for the host.
• Side 2 opens with a decent enough rock song called "Come on Along".
• "Lady Run Lady Hide" is a bigger ballad with big production but the host is not a big fan of it.
• "I Can Hear You Calling" is another rocker where Jim Clench and Miles Goodwin trade vocals.
• "Cats Claw" has lots of nice riffing and soaring guitar solo which the host likes.
• The last song, "The Band Has Just Be Gun", has awesome guitar and some nice hooks but the breakdown section could be cut out according to the host.

Other Points

• The podcast discusses a song with great guitar and nice hooks.
• The breakdown section is not preferred by the speaker.
• The song is a good way to end the album "Rockis" and "Heavy".
• The band seems to have figured something out.

Upcoming Episode

• Tomorrow's episode will cover April Wine's 4th album called "Stand".
