Product Description

Jim Cuddy's second solo disc, The Light That Guides You Home is not by any stretch a radical departure from his Blue Rodeo roots, featuring lots of acoustic and electric twang, as well as a healthy balance between melancholy and joy. If a distinction had to be made, Cuddy's solo projects (his first was 1998's All in Time) tend to be a little less straight-ahead new country and perhaps occasionally a little more lyrically cheeky. The standout on this disc follows that very theme: "Married Again"--a duet with Kathleen Edwards--is based on a true story of a freshly-divorced couple who drunkenly re-ignite their spark in Vegas. Longtime fans will be happy to note that there are a handful of straight-ahead Rodeo-esque rockers--including the title track, "All I Need" and the honky-tonk-infused "Falling"--although the most interesting cuts are the ones least-indicative of the Toronto singer. "She Gets Down" and "Married" show a Bob Dylan influence, while "Pull Me Through"--the CD's first single--hearkens more of a crooner connection. His voice--without any country lilt--brings forth a more mature, adult contemporary tone. The result is a near-Broadway singing style that will surprise many who hear it. -- Denise Sheppard

The Light that guides you home,
By lucyann (Owen Sound ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Light That Guides You Home (Audio CD)
Privously purchased another CD with Jim Cuddy on it but this was the first one of his and I was very pleased. I'm a fan of Blue Rodeo music and expected to like this because of his association with that group and I wasn't disappointed. I look to see who writes the songs too and when you sing what you write then it seems more real to me. That person experienced something that made him write a particular line or verse. I was happy with my purchase

I have been a Blue Rodeo fan since Outskirts was released. But for me it is really all about Jim. This album is fantastic, the music is beautiful, the lyrics are full of honest emotion, and his voice is powerful.

I'm a huge metal-head, but was surprised by how much I liked this album. It's country-ish, but also very canadian folk rock.I highly recomend this album to pretty much anybody.
