Wheatfield Soul


Wheatfield Soul is the fourth studio album by the Canadian rock band The Guess Who, and was released in March 1969. This album is notable for being the first full-length Guess Who album to feature Burton Cummings on lead vocals and the first without original lead singer Chad Allan.

Release history

Wheatfield Soul was not a commercial success. "These Eyes" was released as a single. Wheatfield Soul is the group's first psychedelic LP that also focuses on British influenced pop and rock. An original version of "Friends of Mine" is on the Guess Who's posthumous compilation This Time Long Ago.
Added to the 2009 remastered CD version was "When Friends Fall Out," "Guess Who Blues," and "Of a Dropping Pin." This version of "When Friends Fall Out" never made it to any original, early Guess Who albums. A later version appeared on American Woman.
