Keith's Forgotten Oldie...


Today a record that roared into the top 20 back in 1969, and got solid airplay for many months. The song "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games With Me)" was a national hit for the Minneapolis based blues-rock quintet Crow. A great dance song, Evil Woman featured overdubbed horns that the band was not happy about. The band released three albums without a second hit before finally disbanding in 1971. Lead singer Dave Wagner did release a solo album in 1973. Crow has the weird distinction of having the keyboard player with my favorite rock name... Kink Middlemist.
