This is the 26th song in the Play It Again Mayhem series. Check out the previous entries along with this new one in the Play It Again Mayhem Spotify Playlist click here to take a listen! This is another ’70s song, of which there have been 18 so far. This time it is the turn of “Dream Kid” by The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver, released in 1973. The Sutherland Brothers were actual brothers Iain and Gavin and initially, they were a folk-type duo. To expand and beef up their sound in early 1973, the Sutherland Brothers began to work with a Scottish rock band called Quiver. Quiver was originally formed by guitarist Tim Renwick and bassist John ‘Honk’ Lodge (these two were previously with Junior’s Eyes and David Bowie), later the Quiver lineup was Tim Renwick, guitarist and singer Cal Batchelor, bassist Bruce Thomas, and drummer Willie Wilson. Ever since I first heard this track on the radio in 1973 I loved it, and I still do. It was a minor success, only reaching number 57 in the UK charts. Their biggest hit came three years later with “Arms Of Mary” which made the top five in the UK. What do you think of the track?
