Cuff The Duke Still Winning People Over

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 19, 2009 4:43 pm
Cuff The Duke's first of two nights at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern on Friday began with a fairly average set from Boys Who Say No. The Toronto country/folk/indie quartet were without their customary banjo, which made their set sound far more indie than country. While their set might have been ordinary, the banter was not. "Fuck you!"...

Blue Rodeo — Small Miracles

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) October 2, 2007 1:40 pm
A Blue Rodeo record is essentially a two-for-one deal. The tug-of-war between Jim Cuddy's and Greg Keelor's interests is just as evident on Small Miracles as its ever been, effectively dividing the disc into two distinct halves. As is usually the case, it's Cuddy's vocal tracks that stand out. While he wanders into the occasional ballad, the...

Greg Keelor — Aphrodite Rose

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) October 17, 2006 12:49 pm
While Jim Cuddy is the more steadfast, straightforward country-rock half of the Blue Rodeo songwriting duo, Greg Keelor is the wild child, more prone to raucous psychedelia and mournful blues when left to his own devices. Aphrodite Rose is a bit of an anachronism with its '60s-inspired sound. "Steal Your Mind" and "Colour And Rhyme...

Blue Rodeo — Are You Ready?

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) April 26, 2005 11:27 am
Blue Rodeo know where their bread is buttered — luckily, the kind of records that appease the band’s fans are also their most artistically sound. Are You Ready? may not be the Rodeo’s most memorable album, but it’s as solid as anything they’ve released. Full of Jim Cuddy’s reliable country-pop nuggets and Greg Keelor’s mix of rockers and...

Finally. After years of complaining that it's too expensive to fly all their artists out to places like St. John's or Saskatoon, or that there aren't enough limousines to rent in these towns, or that the available bars are too small to host proper after-parties, the Canadian music industry has finally gotten its wish and the 40th anniversary...

Greg Keelor — Gunless Soundtrack

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 15, 2010 3:16 pm
There's decidedly more score than song on this disc. Only two of the tracks on Greg Keelor's Gunless soundtrack are full-fledged "songs"; the rest are (mostly) instrumental vignettes. One of those two songs — "Don't Let The Darkness In Your Head" — is taken from Blue Rodeo's latest studio effort, The Things We Left Behind. The...
