13 Engines Tailpipe Blues

13 Engines perform Tailpipe Blues from their 1995 album Conquistador on Rita and Friends

I still have this same clip on a video tape up in my attic. I'm not sure why 13 Engines fell by the wayside as members of that great generation of Canadian acts.

It is crime these guys didn't blow more. They were literally better than 95% of the bands of the time

Say all you want about Rita McNeils music, her weight (shame on you!) etc, but her CBC show was one heck of a vehicle to promote good Canadian bands. Case in point - this video.

Will not make a fat joke (fat guy here, so why would I), but it'd be easy with "a ton of weight upon you" being a lyric in this song. :) Agreed on your point, though. This and Ear to the Ground and Music Works opened my eyes to a lot of great bands in a great era!

Oh hell yeah! I taped this on my vhs back in the day! Had some good acts on Rita!

They should of been huge. Instead we got to hear Tom Cochoran and Loverboy a hundred times a day on our crappy radio/television stations.
