Valdy – Rock And Roll Song

Posted by admin on March 17th, 2010 and filed under rock and roll song | 25 Comments »

Issued in Canada October 1972 on Haida 101. From the LP “Country Man” on Haida HL-5101. Produced by Claire Lawrence (of Chilliwack).

Valdy (Valdemar Horsdal) is a Canadian music legend. He is first and foremost a folk singer, and has built a solid, worldwide following over the years with his intimate, gentle songs. One of his experiences, being booed at an early concert where he was mis-booked with loud rock bands, led to this record, which is pretty much his only “rock and roll song.” A&M Records took him to Los Angeles to make his first album, on which the great Jim Gordon plays drums. He recut this song at one point, and for quite awhile, that was the only version that got any airplay. This is the original version that you remember.

Valdy has won two Juno awards and seven further nominations, and amassed sales of a half-million records to date. He is still performing.

Elsewhere on Youtube, there is an absolutely charming clip of him performing this song solo in an instructional video. Go look it up!
