They fit somewhere in the top ten all-time Canadian bands, where is subjective. Some would have em top 5, some would have em barely cracking that top ten.
If you cant reconize real music stay home and listen to that hip hop shit punks try an mimic now a days..music comes from the heart not comercialized. This song speaks from the soul, canadian all the way
amazing lyrics...awesome music...wish i wrote it BUT ....I WANT A CHRISTMAS ABLUM....COME ON BLUE RODEO...they could write such amazing christmas song...I'll start one off...... As i look up at the rockies....I think of you in toronto the smell of candy canes on your breath i couldn't think of anything sweeter than Christmas with you.....
i had to put down my oldest and most favourite horse today-big thunder-rest in peace my good friend,you were a good friend and you took me places no one else could.i never forget you boy.
BLUE RODEO -Blue Rodeo is a Canadian pop and country rock band, which was formed in 1984 in Toronto, Ontario. They have been signed with Warner Music Group since their debut album Outskirts in March 1987. Including Outskirts, they have 12 full-length releases along with multiple solo albums, side projects, and collaborations.
Like I said in a previous post somewhere on a similar topic. I am Canadian too. I sure would like to experience the hospitality of the Bayou and those Acadian/Cajun folks who sure know how to cook catfish on the grill and love their freedom. It's not the big banks and institutions that matter. Just freedom loving people.
We are often introduced to songs that on our own we never would have considered listening to .. Then that particular song carries special meaning. I listen to this and In my mind I hear my friend singing this tune. With a voice that has touched my heart since our first meet.
To think that bands like U2 and Bono become famous in the USA with 2-3 hits which really aren't that good to begin with; is sickening ! If you get the air time..you will or won't make it. Stupid US radio station should look north of the border for true talent such as Blue Rodeo. Ten times better than most bands from the states that make it big.
Yeah i know what you mean. I'm Canadian and I was watching the Trailer Park Boys movie with this guy from Kansas, and he's like "who's that band?". I'm like "You haven't heard of the Tragically Hip?, They are huge in Canada".
Thanks kurdtss for sharing this amazing band with their fans. Not only do we love their music, we love the guys for being the nicest, most approachable, open, down to earth folk you could want to meet.
yeah blue rodeo is not country at all...they're a hometown bluesy...saturday night bar band...with more soul and depth and without the really bad covers *LOL*
I remember being a kid and listening to my mom play Blue Rodeo all the time in the car and I'd sing along and now my kid does the same thing...SO GOOD
Thats sort of like me - except I dont have a child.lol. I just remember my mom playing Blue Rodeo ALL the time at home and in the car when I was a little girl. Now we go to shows together and see who can yell louder for Jim... ;)
when i was pregnant i played blue rodeo while my baby was in my tummy...earphones on my belly. And now, i swear he loves jim cuddy's voice. He's six months now and freaks out in the jeep, but we play blue rodeo and he calms down so fast it's hilarious. My husband can play any blue rodeo tune on the guitar and i think that maybe why also. thanks blue rodeo
i love this song... by far my fav blue rodeo tune. they look like they are enjoying what they're doing. I have never heard of band with such truthful lyrics.
You know what sucks?! I love Blue Rodeo, saw them 5 times in Halifax, just saw them a month ago or so.But they have no DVDs with their video collection you can buy, and you can't even download the videos either.Blue Rodeo needs to put out a greatest hits Video dvd.Man that would sell like crazy around here.We love them in the Maritimes!
Yeah, Canadian men are hot, Robbie Roberston is another one - his mother was native Mohawk Indian and his father was from Toronto. I think they are a little politer that American boys though... just my opinion (and I've lived in both places)-I'm Canadian
whoever came up with the concept for the video and those responsible for putting it together should receive as much praise as Cuddy and Keelor and the gang, this whole thing is a masterpiece
My dream ten years ago was to have Jim Cuddy sing to me on my 30th birthday. Needless to say, that didn't happen. Ten years later, on the eve of my 40th, I would still want him to sing to me. He is severely hot. Wouldn't kick him out of my bed for eating crackers! Amazing singer.Amazing talent.
amazing harmonies, and guitar solo with keelor you can really tell they had fun jamming to this song. I would give my first born child to spend a night and jam with these guys.
The Band is great... Jim Cuddy is around the skill as Robbie but the other band members can't match up to the quality of Richard Manuel and Rick Danko etc..
looks like gretzgy, no. lennon /mccartny, simmons/stanley, yes two of the greats, shame there another cdn band that is hidden under the corporate american machine,
No, Gretzky has a bigger nose and blonde hair. Not to mention ONLY hockey related talent. Are you one of those who thinks all Canadians look the same? I believe there is a term for that. You are... a... human being. (I am Canadian, so I am allowed to make this joke) Also, I must say that Canadian men are HOT. They have to be to combat the frigid temperatures.
So proud to say Greg is my uncle <3
