[ROCK] If you’ve been to see a show by the touring band that calls itself the Guess Who in recent years, you’ve probably been disappointed by how different their performances sounded compared to the original versions of hits like “American Woman,” “No Time,” “These Eyes,” “Share the Land,” “Laughing,” and “Albert Flasher.” That’s because the group lacks the man who sang all the Guess Who’s hits, Burton Cummings, praised by no less than Robert Plant as “one of rock’s best voices.” With his energetic keyboard playing and distinctive singing, he’s an inimitable performer with a deep catalogue of hits from both the Guess Who days and as a solo artist. Cummings and his long time touring band, the Carpet Frogs, will headline the final show of Artpark’s summer season next Tuesday August 30. The evening includes two other acts who are also members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, veteran folksinger and activist Buffy Sainte-Marie and hard rockers April Wine (“Just Between You and Me,” “Sign of the Gypsy Queen”).
