The Sweet City Woman Songfacts says: The Stampeders hail from Calgary, Alberta, Canada starting out in 1964 with the name The Rebounds. After some milling about with lineup and name changes, they gelled into the trio of Rich Dodson, Ronnie King, and Kim Berly. Thanks to the interest of Canadian TV producer Mel Shaw, who managed the band, they got a few spots on variety TV shows. Their first break was “Carry Me,” an acoustic number that scored #1 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary and garnered the group their first gold single. Just before releasing Against the Grain, the group had managed to sign with Quality Records under the tutelage of producer Terry Brown.

They became one of Canada’s top rock groups in the early 70’s, winning Juno Awards in the categories ‘Best Group,’ ‘Best Single,’ ‘Best Producer’ and ‘Best Composer’ for their platinum single, SWEET CITY WOMAN. Their other hits include CARRY ME, DEVIL YOU, WILD EYES, OH MY LADY, THEN CAME THE WHITE MAN, MINSTREL GYPSY, PLAYING IN THE BAND, HIT THE ROAD JACK, NEW ORLEANS, MONDAY MORNING CHOO CHOO and KEEP ME RUNNING WILD, to name just a few.

Between 1971 and 1976, the group were a household name, with four songs reaching Top-30 in the U.S and ten Top-5 singles in Canada. They recorded nine albums, many achieving gold and platinum status.
