Since we don’t post on weekends, today is our “Happy Canada Day” entry, one day late.

I chose to go with Canadian icons Streetheart, but not with their better-known hits. I’m going with some obscure album tracks from some obscure albums; the title track from Dancing With Danger, and Hot Cherie from Buried Treasure.

Most people associate Hot Cherie with Danny Spanos or Hardline, but Streetheart wrote it and did the best version of it.

They were such a great band. Great songwriters and players. They just never got the big break they deserved.

RIP Kenny Shields. You were one of the great frontmen and vocalists.
