NEW YORK \u2014 Two principal songwriters of The Guess Who \u2014 the band that crafted the hit song \u201cAmerican Woman\u201d \u2014 will tour America itself later this year for the first time in more than two decades.<\/p>\n

\n

Original guitarist Randy Bachman<\/a> and singer-keyboardist Burton Cummings, who have already announced a tour of their native Canada this summer, are adding more than 20 U.S. dates,<\/a> they tell The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cRandy and I are getting this incredible welcome back feeling,\u201d Cummings says. \u201cIt\u2019s magic to play the hit records and see people singing along after decades and decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guess Who will cross the border starting June 25 in Minneapolis, and hit such cities as Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Atlantic City, Boston, Atlanta, Houston, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Seattle.<\/p>\n

The last time Bachman and Cummings toured the U.S. as The Guess Who was in 2001 alongside British rocker Joe Cocker.<\/a><\/p>\n

Part of the delay in returning stemmed from a trademark dispute with their former bandmates who used The Guess Who name. A settlement was reached in September 2024 giving Bachman and Cummings the trademark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad that\u2019s all over with,\u201d Cummings says. \u201cNow we can go out and honor the songs. We\u2019re going out to honor the music.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guess Who are one of the biggest classic rock acts to emerge from Canada, scoring memorable hits during the 1960s and \u201970s such as \u201cThese Eyes,\u201d \u201cHand Me Down World,\u201d \u201cLaughing,\u201d \u201cNo Time\u201d and \u201cShare the Land.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guess Who became the first Canadian band to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

Bachman and Cummings promise a summer setlist of some 20 songs that includes all the hits, and they\u2019ll play them exactly like they were played on the records.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what people want to hear,\u201d Bachman says. \u201cWhen I go see my buddy Neil Young, I don\u2019t want the songs he wrote last week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cummings agrees, comparing great songs to signposts in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can remember the first time I heard Elvis on the radio, the first time I ever heard the Beatles, first time when I heard Ray Charles sing \u2018What\u2019d I Say,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cReally great records never leave people\u2019s memories. They\u2019re there for good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bachman and Cummings say there\u2019s a yearning for classic rock songs played live, especially in this age of AI and music-writing software.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody can now write a song, put it in a computer and a song comes out. But they can\u2019t play it live,\u201d Bachman says. \u201cThe people want to see you playing real rock. They want to hear a mistake. They want to see a string break.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
