The Story of April Wine: Tim Durling Explores the Band's Greatest Albums

April Wine has long been one of Canada's greatest rock bands, yet outside of hits like "Roller," "I Like to Rock," "Just Between You and Me," and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen," much of their incredible story remains untold. In this episode of Booked On Rock, author Tim Durling joins me to discuss his new book, On Record: The April Wine Album Review. We explore the band's origins in Nova Scotia, the remarkable misunderstanding that helped launch their career, Myles Goodwyn's legacy as songwriter and frontman, the evolution of all 16 studio albums, their breakthrough in America, and why April Wine deserves far more recognition among classic rock's elite. Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering April Wine for the first time, this conversation is a deep dive into one of rock's most enduring and underrated bands.
