Product Description
Amazon.ca Canadian Essential
Toronto-based Blue Rodeo was purveying its own alternately sunny, grizzled mix of country and rock before the alternative country boomlet made it fashionable. This self-produced 1993 album, recorded mostly live at the band's farm, brought them fans partly because of the alternative country trend, partly because the set was more lyrical and explicit in its country accents. As transparent, and unapologetic, Neil Young fans, this was Blue Rodeo's Harvest, distinguished by the poles of its songwriting and singing team, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor. Cuddy's clear, soaring tenor provides a romantic foil for Keelor's smokier, rougher-edged vocals, and together they write brooding rock ballads (""5 Days in May""), ringing, deceptively up-tempo loser's anthems (""Hasn't Hit Me Yet""), and convincing country ballads (""Bad Timing""), as well as spacier rock dirges (""What Is This Love,"" featuring Sarah McLachlan). --Sam Sutherland

Captures the "Essence" of Blue Rodeo,
By
This review is from: Five Days in July (Audio CD)
I have followed BR throughout their career, first seeing them by chance at Toronto's Ontario Place outdoor venue in the 80's. This CD captures a wonderous essence of this band and songwriting team... wow! Although I also enjoy their more rockin stuff, I think this CD is their best, most consistent, and well-rounded... (though I still have a soft spot for their magical first CD... although now somewhat dated...except for "Try"). Cheers

Canada Lives Through This,
By Charlie "Theread" (Wagga Wagga, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Days in July (Audio CD)
I bought this after a trip to Canada in 1994 and it, more than any other album, and "Hasn't Hit Me Yet", more than any other song reminds me of my family and friends in that great land.It gets five stars just for that, but in reality it is just a tremendously enjoyable album running through rock and ballads effortlessly and smoothly. Excellent songs, great playing and singing from a fine Canadian band. Cheers!!
