Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Canned Wheat' helped consolidate the Guess Who's North American success after 'These Eyes' brought them wider attention. The album includes 'No Time,' later reworked into one of their defining singles. It presents the band balancing melodic pop-rock songwriting with traces of psychedelia and prairie-rooted sensibility.
