The Guess Who, the legendary Canadian rock band known for hits like “American Woman” and “These Eyes,” is back together! Original members Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings have announced that they will go on tour in 2026 under the name The Guess Who. This reunion follows a years-long legal battle over the use of the band name, which was settled in September 2024 in favor of Bachman and Cummings.

What’s strange, though, is that in recent years there was a really solid version of the band recording new music and playing live extensively. Plein D’Amour from 2023 is a refreshingly strong album, with a sound that blends the playful ’90s power pop of Jellyfish with the early ’80s AOR of bands like Dakota, Donnie Iris, and Franke and the Knockouts—all delivered by Derek Sharp, a fantastic vocalist.

After Bachman and Cummings reclaimed the band name, the recent history was wiped from social media, and suddenly everything is about American Woman again. But Plein D’Amour is too good to be forgotten, and has now been re-released as the debut of Derek Sharp and the Champagne Jam. Go listen to it!
