Chilliwack
All Over You
Chilliwack's third album 'All Over You' came out in 1972, and contained the hit 'Groundhog,' which showcased Henderson's incredible slide-guitar work. The song was actually a loose interpretation of a 200 year-old British traditional song that had previously been covered by Buffy Saint Marie and the Every Brothers (their version was called 'Muskrat'). Also on the record was the cool little ditty 'Chickenshit Man.' There was an Edmonton Journal article around the time of this album's release in 1972, in which Chilliwack front-man Bill Henderson commented that while 'All Over You' "may not have the philosophical depth of its predecessor, it is perhaps more exciting." Many of the songs seem to have their roots in basic blues melodies, but thanks to Henderson's soaring vocals, some finely textured harmonies and a liberal dose of slide guitar work, the songs are transformed into unique and exciting compositions.
