Michael Russell Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hey Victor, thanks for the Blue Rodeo links. Blue Rodeo is definitely in the artists deserving of greater recognition category. The alt-country magazine No Depression had a good write up on Blue Rodeo here. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Pross Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Hey Victor, thanks for the Blue Rodeo links. Blue Rodeo is definitely in the artists deserving of greater recognition category. The alt-country magazine No Depression had a good write up on Blue Rodeo here. MickMick, I couldn't agree with you more. They are an intellignent band with whistful and rocking tunes. It's a damn shame that this band didn't make a big splash in the US like other Canadian Rock (or country) bands, Rush being one of them. I told Angie that I'm going to miss seeing Blue Rodeo live when I move out to her. I'm going to miss Blue Rodeo and our pretty Canadian money. Not much else though.My fave CD from them is Five Days in July. From the site you posted, it says: The ensuing Five Days In July, recorded in the summer of ’93 at Keelor’s farm about an hour outside Toronto, is a more laid-back, mostly acoustic affair, sounding (as its title implied) very much like a stretch of summertime days spent hanging out in the country. A couple of deeper, darker songs at the end of the disc, however, were recorded later at another site — with vocal contributions from Sarah McLachlan (who was not universally known at the time) — and those tracks give a clue as to where the band was headed on its next record.

BAMF Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks for posting more of them, Victor. I'm digging them even though I normally really hate country music. You posted a song from them in another thread that I really liked, but I don't remember what it was called. I'll have to go find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Pross Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Kori, maybe it was one of these? (Blue Rodeo-"Bulletproof ") (Pull Me Through)(of course, these tunes remind me of Angie) Edited March 5, 2007 by Victor Pross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Pross Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Ah, Bulletproof! Thankee!Yes, that a very powerful tune, Kori. It’s really about a man who is confessing his love and admits vulnerability by exposing his feelings. What woman wouldn’t love that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybird Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm giving some of those YouTube videos a try. All I've seen or heard of Blue Rodeo, which I did like, was their movie appearance in the underrated comedy-drama "Postcards from the Edge."They backed Meryl Streep -- yes, I found it hard to believe, but she showed energy and panache! -- on "I'm Checkin' Out (of This Heartbreak Hotel)." That merits a re-visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
