Burton Cummings: My Own Way To Rock
Ken Barnes, Phonograph Record, June 1977
BURTON CUMMINGS is destined to be a solo star, if he isn't classifiable as one already. His first single apart from the Guess Who, 'Stand Tall', went gold, and his debut album sold very well, with a tour that drew out new fans as well as the old Guess Who faithful.
