Terry McManus was a Canadian Artist who had some success in this field starting in 1971 with "Sunshower". He was a fixture on the radio in Canada for the next 4 years with several other songs, the most successful being "Carolyn".

It is probably a given that you will not know any of these songs but their sound will be very familiar to any of you who are fans of this genre.This first album on the Pristine Label is his early work from that time. The album was recorded over 2 weekends at Thunder Sound in Toronto with the last song, Out Vancouver Way, recorded live at 6:00 am on the Monday morning. The musicians on the session include John Woloschuk (Klaatu) on bass, keyboards and backing vocals; Garwood Wallace (Twitch) on guitars; Barry Keane (Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray) on drums.

This is an eclectic collection of songs from the Neil Young influenced, All The Love Keeps Missing to the 1965 Brit Pop "Baby's Gonna Learn How To Cry". The first 3 songs on the album were all charted in Canada with Carolyn reaching number 9.

The material is now available, complete, for the first time as MP3 downloads or on a limited edition CD (with complete liner notes by Terry McManus). Check out this catchy Sunshine Pop for yourself at: http://www.bullseyesongs.com/mcmanus_all.html
