Toronto, Canada (1984 – present)

Blue Rodeo is a Canadian country rock band formed in 1984 in Toronto. Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, who have been friends since high school, having both attended North Toronto Collegiate Institute. The pair worked on forming a band after both attended Queen’s University at Kingston. They had a few failed attempts and a few adventures before finally coming together with Cleave Anderson, Bazil Donovan, and Bob Wiseman to form Blue Rodeo. Their debut album Outskirts was produced by Terry Brown, who is perhaps best known for his work with Canadian hard rock legends Rush, was released in March 1987. They have been signed with Warner Music Canada since their debut, but have jumped around a bit in the USA and other markets, mostly on Warner Brothers, Rounder and recently re-signed with Warner Brothers International for the world.

The band consists of original members Cuddy (guitar/vocals), Keelor (guitar/vocals) and Donovan (bass) plus newer additions Glenn Milchem (drums), and Bob Egan (multi-instrumentalist). Former members include Anderson (drummer), Wiseman (keyboardist), Kim Deschamps (multi-instrumentalist), Mark French (drummer), and Jamie Gray (keyboardist) and Bob Packwood (keyboards).

Blue Rodeo is one of the most successful and well known contemporary Canadian bands, having released 11 studio albums, one live album, a greatest hits collection and a DVD which have sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. In addition, both Cuddy and Keelor have released solo albums. Blue Rodeo members have collaborated extensively with other notable Canadian artists, including Jann Arden, Cowboy Junkies, Burton Cummings, Kathleen Edwards, Great Big Sea, Sarah McLachlan, The Sadies, Ron Sexsmith, Skydiggers, and The Tragically Hip.

I like most of the songs on the new album, my only complaint is that a large number of them sound like a Jim Cuddy or Greg Keelor solo album material... few of the songs seem to be true Blue Rodeo.

Listening to the live stream on http://www.bluerodeo.com/media/flash/audioPopA.html... All I can say is welcome back, boys. Destined to be a real late-career classic.

Been binging hard on Nowhere to Here and Tremolo the last couple days. Sidenote/shameless post, anyone else use the Blue Rodeo google search? Apparently you can win stuff, so I figured what the hell. Half way to an autographed shirt \m/ http://searchwithbluerodeo.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=186879

Top listeners are decided by % of times you listen to the artists... so songs by artists / total plays. And then you just have to wait to have that update (which is not that regular) to get in the top listeners. And thanks for the 17K comment, but I reset my profile and lost another 12k BR listens or so in the process. It is an addiction... not getting treatment.... ;)

Why aren't I a top listener? I have them in 2nd place with 600+ scrobbles. That beats 4 of the members listed in top listeners. Hats off to the one guy though, 17K, wow. great band.
