Ridin' High (Moxy album)
Ridin' High  is the third album by the Canadian rock band Moxy, released in 1977. The record got good reviews and got the band nominated for a Juno Award (Canada's Grammy) in 1977 for Most Promising Group of the Year. The album  produced two Texas hit songs "Are You Ready",  and "Ridin' High", as for Canada the album was considered  too hard/heavy for Canadian radio at the time and consequently only the  slowest paced song "Another Time Another Place" received any  airplay in the band's home country. The album still sold well in Canada and  especially  in Southern USA  because of strong live appearances that included shows with AC/DC and  Trooper. In the words of Earl Johnson "I remember going in doing radio interviews and Ridin High was the single and they would put it on and all the needles would just go tilt over right into the red and the station engineer would be freaking out. And I'm going, we're not going to get any airplay with this. I just knew it. And you know, we were a concert act",
