About The Album
Blue Rodeo's OUTSKIRTS debut album of 1987 was the Canadian success story of the past year. The quintessential "little band that grew," Blue Rodeo rode the wave of integrity out of their Toronto/Queen St. roots to Double Platinum Canadian sales, and onward to international acclaim while picking up almost every Canadian award available along the way.
After two years and hundreds of gigs Blue Rodeo have now emerged with a stunning second album. DIAMOND MINE differs from OUTSKIRTS in two major ways: the cohesiveness of the band is even more apparent after working together night after night, and the subsequently compatible, though unusual, recording environment left its mark as well.
"We're a much better live band after hundreds of shows together," explains singer/songwriter Jim Cuddy. "That better musicianship along with an un-intimidating recording atmosphere really shows on this record."
