American Flyer/Spirit Of A Woman - American Flyer

American woman, Canadian men

Advantages: plenty of them
Disadvantages: not too many

player). After a few years releasing singles and albums without any succed outside their native Canada, they finally made it with this "American Woman", their best album (I'm not completelly sure about this...), from 1970. The cover of the album, as you see in the photograph above, shows the members of the band and the face of a blond woman (american, I guess), and the back cover shows the members of the band (again) sitting on a table just looking very seriously to the camera. About the name of the band, the story is interesting. At the begining, they where "Chad Allan and the expresions", "Chad Allan and The Reflections" (with that name, they were the first band to introduce the music of the Beatles to Canadian audiences), and some other names, until the group boasted a new name. It came out on a radio promotion, in wich people weren ...

Review of The Guess Who - American Woman

American try.

Advantages: Vincent & American Pie.
Disadvantages: Lots of naff tracks.

American Pie - Don McClean This album was originally released in 1971, this is the 1988 CD version, or at least the CD of the 1988 version (says 1988 on CD sleeve, though I do not remember CD's in 1988! Or maybe I just did not have any then, lol). According to various sources this album is amongst the 'best ever' American albums, really? McClean was/is primarily a folk singer and this album, by all accounts was a 'one off', he certainly has little fame apart from this album. The album itself is quite an epic, particularly the title track 'American Pie', a song of over eight and a half minutes that tells a story that is a mix between psychedelia, Americana folk and angsty ballad. The famous line 'The day the music died' is referring to the air crash that killed Buddy Holly. This album should not include 'Sister Fatima' according ...

Review of American Pie (Greatest Hits) - Don McLean

American Crew

Advantages: Smells nice, good hold
Disadvantages: none.

The hairdressing salon that I go to promote the full American Crew brand ranging from wax to shampoo`s, conditioner`s, etc. Whenever I was in having my hair styled this was the brand of product they used so I decided to give American Crew a try. I have a short to medium length hair cut which has various spiky bits which require products which can provide good hold. Lots of the styling gels I had previously used tended to make the hair rock hard and matt it together. American Crew fibre gives a matt texture look without shine, designed for use on contemporary chopped and textured styles to get a natural look. You only have to use a small fingertip amount to hold you hair strongly in place all day so a small tub will last you quite a while. Gives a good hold and is pretty durable when out and about in different weather. If it gets ...
