They were better than we remember

While the Stampeders will always be linked to "Sweet City Woman" (a song that still brings a smile to even the most jaded of listeners) they were really more than just a one trick pony. From out and out rockers to R&B influenced funk the Stampeders tossed a lot of music into the salad. Check out the rockers like "Ramona" or "Wild Eyes" or the thickly produced "Playin' In The Band". And not enough can be said about the beauty of "Oh My Lady".

Great Canadian Band!

Stampeders are probably the most underrated Canadian group of its era, overshadowed by The Guess Who and April Wine It produced many hits back in its day, with 'Sweet City Woman' probably considered their signature song, They had many good albums, with music ranging from country-style to pop to hard edge rock. There was always something for everyone. This compilation encompasses everything the casual listener will like, however, I would not consdier tracks like 'Monday Morning Choo Choo' and 'Johnny Lightning' to be the 'best of', but they did get some airplay on Canadian radio. I have several of their albums - 'From The Fire' and 'New Day' I would consider to be the pinnacle of their career, which has their harder edge stuff like 'Running Wild' and 'Wild Eyes'. If you like any of their songs, this is a good 'Best Of' to pick up, although it is too bad it does not have the album version of 'Runnung Wild' (6 minutes).

This album has so many great songs on it. Great melodies. Great muscians. Sweet City Woman - it isn't summer until I hear SCW. This song puts a big smile on my face as I break out into song. Love it!! This is a must have great Canadian album.

The early '70s saw a mini-boom in America for Canadian-born rockers — apart from major players like Neil Young and the Band, and singles chart fixtures like the Guess Who, there was an entire wave of one-hit and near-one-hit wonders. The Stampeders were part of this group, a trio originally from Calgary, Alberta, who hit the Top Ten in 1971 with the infectiously catchy "Sweet...
