NEW Blue Rodeo

Easily Canada's best band IMHO, Blue Rodeo is back with a double album The Things We Left Behind. While their last few releases haven't grabbed me, the new tracks I've heard so far are promising. This band had a phenomenal run from their debut Outskirts in 1987 through to Five Days in July in 1994. I'd probably include 1995's Nowhere to Here and 1997's Tremolo in the streak as well. Classic stuff for sure. Since then, there have been great tracks, but no albums that compare to the earlier stuff IMO. I'm listening to the band being interviewed by Jian Ghomeshi on CBC Radio's Q as I type this and I'm feeling very optimistic about this new release.

Check out the new track One Light Left In Heaven.



My song du jour.
