5.0 out of 5 stars Album of 1999!!, August 13, 1999

I first heard Blackie and the Rodeo Kings when I picked up their "High or Hurtin'" CD in a shop in Jasper while on holiday from Scotland. I thought it was great. This one is even better! From the opener "49 Tons" till the last track on the second CD there's not a weak track. Boredom never gets a look-in. All styles are here from the Hank Marvin/Ventures/Dick Dale sounding "Summer Dreams Winter Sleep" thru the Band-like "Tombstone" . Willie P. Bennetts brilliant compositions "Red Dress" and "The Lucky Ones" are however for me the highlights but it's the type of recording that grows on hearing - one that is timeless in feel and quality. Buy it NOW!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kickin', March 11, 2003

This is a double CD of kickin' music by three guys who LOVE to sing and play. Colin, Tom, and Stephen assembled their favorite songs (How could they choose?!), and then give it their all so that these tunes will become your favorites too. This is the 2001 JUNO-award winning CD. Hey, 31 million Candians already know these guys are great. How about you?

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Biased but anyway..., March 6, 2002

I first met Tom Wilson in the mid-80's when he was a member of the Florida Razors, and I was a simple bartender at the Gown & Gavel in Hamilton, ON. We've both gone on to bigger/better things. In Tom's case, this collaboration with Colin Linden and Stephen Fearing has a big, beautiful, varied sound. If you love good rock'n'roll, buy this record. Such a warm collection of music, it reminds me of old dear friends past and present.
