About The Record:

Wheatfield Soul, by The Guess Who, is a pivotal psychedelic and pop-rock album that marked the band's breakthrough to international success and the first full-length featuring Burton Cummings exclusively on lead vocals. It showcases a diverse range of styles, from the orchestral blue-eyed soul of fan-favorite These Eyes to quirky tracks like the proto-prog Pink Wine Sparkles in the Glass, the sitar-tinged Love and a Yellow Rose, and the humorous closer We're Coming to Dinner. A unique fact is that producer Jack Richardson mortgaged his house to finance the recordings, reflecting strong belief in the material. Historically significant as the start of the band's major prominence and a key moment for Canadian rock achieving widespread North American impact, the album includes the massive hit single These Eyes, which reached No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 7 in Canada, and was certified gold for over one million sales. Popular songs and fan-favorites also include the epic Friends of Mine and the acoustic tribute Lightfoot.
