This is a tribute of sorts. Credits to my fellow Woburn-ite Matt Blair for the skinny on the passing of Don Achen this past Monday. Don was the lead guitarist of Junkhouse, and also ran the highly regarded Catherine North recording studio in Hamilton, Ontario. Junkhouse was one of my favourite rock bands growing up. The growling voice of Tom Wilson combined with Achen's gritty guitar gave them a sort of delta blues kind of feel behind their hard rock exterior. This was their first single from the fantastic 1993 album "Strays".
Thanks for the memories Don.
