Blackie and The Rodeo Kings – Going for Adds

Blackie & The Rodeo Kings are going for adds this week! The critically acclaimed Canadian roots trio consists of Colin Linde (The Band, Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn), Stephen Fearing (multiple Juno award winner), and Tom Wilson (Junkhouse, Lee Harvey Osmond). No Depression described their latest album, South, as “rich in sonically-pleasing sounds” after stating that they are “…rock solid Blackie & the Rodeo Kings fans[s] from here on out.” Click here for the full read. Allmusic has described the band as “one of Canada’s leading roots rock acts…a collaboration between three well-respected blues, folk, and rock musicians.” On South, the band goes back to the basics; inspired by the unplugged sessions they would play in tents whenever their festival sets would be rained out. Songs like “I’m Still Loving You” feature long periods of guitar playing that show the power and strength of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings’ musical dexterity. The guitar picking and strums are mixed with soulful lyrics that give the album a down south feel.
