Wayne Versage

by beau 8. December 2008 17:09

There's not much information out there on late-'60s pop singer Wayne Versage (although this site claims that he passed away on May 16th, 2006). But, as always, we have the trusty liner notes to fall back on:

"This album is your introduction to a great young singer, Toronto born Wayne Versage. Wayne is 24 years old and has been singing professionally for 5 years. During this period he spent some time as lead singer with the SHAYS prior to David Clayton Thomas. Three years ago Wayne started playing guitar and his first album certainly shows how far an artist can progress in such a short space of time. Wayne is a comparative newcomer to the downtown Toronto scene, but he is already making a name for himself - which, after hearing this album, can be easily understood. We feel confident that more recordings will follow and Wayne has plans to travel extensively all across Canada as a necessary step in furthering his career. Make no mistake about it - you will be hearing a lot more from Wayne Versage. Listen to the record and you'll know why."

"Sitting On My Windowsill" is a fairly straight-ahead pop number with a mildly psychedelic coda. "Little Arrows" is a version of the oft-covered 1968 Leapy Lee mega-hit. "Whiskey On A Sunday" is a chilled-out version of an Irish drinking ballad. And "Now That You're Gone" is as rockin' as Wayne Versage got, a garage-y tune with some nice, stinging guitar work sprinkled throughout.
