The Jarvis St. Revue The Jarvis Street Revue was formed in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada in the late 60's around the talents of, Tom Cruickshank, Wayne Faulconer, Tom Horricks and George Stevenson . In 1970 the band released their only album, Mr. Oil Man which was recorded at DMG Sound Studios in Thunder Bay. The subject content of Mr. Oil Man, is an environmental statement on the use and abuse of the oil reserves, the depletion of Earth’s natural resources and hazards of smoking. Sound familiar? These issues are a concern in the 21st century and this album was 30 years ahead of its time for the bands green concerns and anti-business reflection in the song lyrics of the album. The songs contained on this album fit well in today’s environmentally conscious society. The music on Mr Oil Man, is predominantly heavy rock with psychedelic overtones and a strong Jimi Hendrix influence in the guitar pieces. Originally released on Columbia Records in Canada only, this album has all but disappeared over the years
