Its Rufus, what else is there to say, you either like the guy or you don't get him, I've always counted myself in the former. Here, we have his Covid era (is that even a term?) music, locked down with family, writing his songs, trying to express himself, and on this release he does a pretty good job. Its not as memorable as say Release the Stars (2007), but it certainly fits into his musical canon quite well. The title and song were his daughters idea.Its Rufus, what else is there to say, you either like the guy or you don't get him, I've always counted myself in the former.

This collection from 69-71 has quite the list of familiar artists, and some of those one hit wonders, that are a joy to hear again. This collection culls a snapshot of what was on the radio at the time, some are obscure songs (to some of us) by major bands of the time, others are the original versions done by other who made it popular.This collection from 69-71 has quite the list of familiar artists, and some of those one hit wonders, that are a joy to hear again.

This is a nice 'light' jazz Christmas album, nothing stellar here,played competently, it would be good for background music.

Beware, this is not Robin Williams the comedian, this Robin and wife are Bluegrass players, competent but mediocre one's at that.

Pop Christmas stuff with no feel, but I'm sure it probably works for lots of folks.

Hayes has been at this for some time, his songwriting is in the middle of the singer/songwriter field, he is someone worth listening too.

In response to the following comment, I'm not 19 anymore and my musical tastes now are certainly more advanced than this stuff, what struck me about some of this was how dated it sounded. The promise this band showed in their first 4 albums were thrown away with Aqualung and subsequent releases (Thick as a Brick was okay), Ian Anderson and band were/are quite talented, but to my ears they turned into Spinal Tap.In response to the following comment, I'm not 19 anymore and my musical tastes now are certainly more advanced than this stuff, what struck me about some of this was how dated it sounded.

Understand the title, this is band music, like big band music from the 30-50's, where Loudon sings old chestnuts, that he was very familiar with, and has always wanted to put out. Understanding this guys career, be it acting or singing\ songwriting, all I could envision was him in the last still of the movie The Shinning(1980) leading the band...Understand the title, this is band music, like big band music from the 30-50's, where Loudon sings old chestnuts, that he was very familiar with, and has always wanted to put out.

This is a pretty good read,here Richard gets right down to it, he lays out his personal story, like his music, in an honest and no bullshit style. His reminiscing of his early days in London, reads like a tradesman life story, which to us uninitiated sounded like a dream job, but the reality was much different. To my way of thinking it's always fascinating to read of how so many musical paths cross in the 'business' .This is a pretty good read,here Richard gets right down to it, he lays out his personal story, like his music, in an honest and no bullshit style.

After the sudden and unexpected loss of lead singer and writer Dallas Good, this family band soldiered on and put out this strong album, there is no quit in these guys. Dallas may have been the writer, lead singer and Producer,but here they are the Sadies, playing it like they always have.
l had the good fortune to see them live this summer at our local FF, and I can truthfully say, they are Canada's hardest Rockin' band.After the sudden and unexpected loss of lead singer and writer Dallas Good, this family band soldiered on and put out this strong album, there is no quit in these guys.

I certainly will not go as far as saying this recording is comparable to Neil Young's Harvest, but I will agree up to that point in their career this was Blue Rodeo's strongest recording. It has some of their more memorable songs, the playing and singing are all top notch, all and all a very good record by this Canadian institution.I certainly will not go as far as saying this recording is comparable to Neil Young's Harvest, but I will agree up to that point in their career this was Blue Rodeo's strongest recording.

This must have been a genre of music that this couple have secretly wanted to do for sometime, I certainly didn't realize this was in their musical cannon. I was taken aback how twangy this release is, but this is that kind of release that you either get it or you don't, but I can tell these two musical chameleons probably loved doing it.This must have been a genre of music that this couple have secretly wanted to do for sometime, I certainly didn't realize this was in their musical cannon.

This is Margo price in her twangy phase I think, it was a bit too twangy for what I was hoping for, her next? release, That's How Rumors get started is more to my liking, this gal is only going to get better.

Yup, she's coming along on this recording, she really is getting her wings, and as her latest recording Strays (2023) shows, she has arrived. I enjoyed this recording, my only beef is, it only clocks in at 35" .
