Riverson are a group from Montreal who released only one album in 1973 and disappeared from sight. I had not heard of them until earlier this week when they were played and mentioned on the CBC. One of the members was originally in the group Mashmakhan, who had a big hit in Canada with "As the Years Go By" and who opened for Chicago when I saw them in university.
Riverson's album is pleasant early 70's pop/rock, very reminiscent of artists like Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young, and similar California acts of the day. It's too bad that they didn't go on to have more success, but I'm glad I got to hear it.
