Cuff The Duke Still Winning People Over

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!"...

Greg Keelor — Aphrodite Rose

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...

Greg Keelor — Gunless Soundtrack

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...
