One of Canada's finest, the "McKenna Mendelson Mainline" (from band members Mike McKenna and Joe Mendelson), soon simply known as "Mainline," are the authors of several very strong rock-blues oriented albums. Also well-known for their live performances, their incessant gigging granted them slots playing alongside names like the Jeff Beck Group (Grande Ballroom, Detroit), and on the British circuit, the Bonzo Dog Band, Family, Keef Hartley Band, Gun, Fleetwood Mac and the nascent Led Zeppelin.
In 1972, under the more representative moniker of "Mainline Bump 'n' Grind Revue," the band recorded this memorable live album, featuring several inspired originals along with reputable versions of songs by Big Joe Williams, Johnny Young, Jimmy Smith, Leadbelly, and even a surprising "Misty" by Erroll Garner. When these guys get cooking, not even a cold day in the Canadian Rockies can stop them.
