Blue Rodeo

Most interesting thread folks. Depending on my mood, I'm sometimes Jim and other times Greg. I've never checked out the threads on this discussion board dedicated to each yet. I agree it takes some time to really get into some of Greg's songs but I think it's because he writes what he feels and this guy feels!   Jim does too. Oh no, there I go again. See what I mean?

I do like to mix of styles. As someone said earlier, something for everyone.

Just a little of that Human Touch - Bruce Springsteen

I can totally relate about rediscovering songs, be they BR songs in genereal or Greg's in particular. I wasn't quite as young as you when I started liking BR, but I was still pretty young. I liked Blue Rodeo's sound and lyrics, but I had to grow to truly appreciate them. I think when I was young I took them at face value whereas now I think about them a bit more and go beyond the literal meaning of the lyrics. I laugh now at what I thought I understood of some of them. I thought I was so mature! lol I told my mom this a while ago and she said, "Of course, you were so into the singer that you would have liked anything that came from his mouth." Maybe she was right, but I'd like to think that I was a little deeper than that, even way back then!

 I'm a big fan for Jim Cuddy.. Like hes my favourite singer of all time. But still I have to agree with you. I loved the tone in his voice and it suites his songs so well.

So many roads you must go down, all dreary and dark. Nothing but rain clouds in your heart.

I only discovered Blue Rodeo in 1994. The first CD I bought
was "5 Days". Then I bought "Outskirts" and that's when I
realised Greg was not only very all-over-the-map musically
but that his style would be my favorite.
Plus, a tidbit, on the pictures of that CD, you see the whole
band on the first one, then, where Greg was, a cat is now
at his place. I do LOVE CATS.

LOL Yeah, I always wondered about that cat! I like the looks of him. I could totally see him as belonging to Greg or any of the other guys, for that matter! He's The Blue Rodeo Cat! :D

Thanks Sammie, that's why I haven't seen it. I bought the first 3 CD's in a box set, so I guess the cat pic isn't on it.

Oh wow, how cool is this? A Keelor section!

 I love his voice, he uses it as his instrument too, in a way.

Welcome, claudemarie, to our happy little world! :D

Since you joined on the day of the presale, can I assume you will be going to a show sometime soon? :o)

 So no presale tix for me... but it's ok, I saw the boys last month! My first time ever, and I thought Greg Keelor was positively charming and talented and he showed great wit! (Jokingly yelled SHUT UP to the tiedyed people on the side of the hill LOL)

 It would be nice to see Cheryl Crow and Jim Cuddy... but it's birthday season around my house now LOL

Welcome just the same. It's always great to see new people come to the board - especially when they are Keelorites! ;)

LOL I didn't know that people were calling themselves "Keelorites" and "Cuddyans", LOL that's cute! Where's the Bazilheads? ;)

I've never seen "Bazilheads" on the board, but I like it. 

Bazheads? Bazzers?

LOL

borderline useless from hanging around

So would that make fans of Mr. Egan "Bobbleheads"? *pictures fans nodding erratically to pedal steel solos*

Man, I'm wacky today. I blame being up before noon on a Sunday.
