New York, NY (Top40 Charts) For nearly 30 years, Blue Rodeo has taken the road less traveled in music - and has succeeded far beyond anyone's expectations by staying authentic and true to themselves.
Led by songwriter/vocalist/guitarist combo Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy, Blue Rodeo is one of Canada's most iconic bands with millions of records sold, an induction into the Canadian Hall of Fame, and a host of enviable accolades from some of the most discerning U.S. music critics and late-night TV hosts.
1000 Arms is Blue Rodeo's 14th studio album and finds the band in their prime - tuning in and turning it up with a record that's both reflective and energetic. It also revisits the luscious, heartfelt harmonies that made so many listeners fall in love with their music in the first place. On 1000 Arms, Blue Rodeo's most dynamic album to date, the band harnesses their time-honored vision and creativity to anchor their own destiny and create richly compelling songs that are free of the conventions.
"Greg and I have this strange symbiosis which is sometimes contrasting and marrying. We write in isolation. We don't know what the other one is writing, but it seemed like we came with a much more energetic record this time than we have for some time," Cuddy says.
With a core songwriting team that has remained unchanged throughout their career, this is a band that knows a thing or two about the art of collaboration, loyalty and sustainability.
The
Chicago Tribune once said, "What their music does, more than anything else, is reach out to a rarely touched spot - a place where music and imagery are fused and lyrics becomes emotions, not just stories." And, we couldn't agree more!
