This one was recorded in February y'all 👍
Never heard of this one before and I'm 56. Must have come out when I had young children. I went and listened to it. I really like it. Can't wait for your reaction. Keep on keepin' on!
Blue Rodeo have been one of my favourites groups over the past 30 years. They have a unique sound that’s a blend of folk , blues and country. They have two lead singers with quite different voices depending on which song you’re listening to. This song had Jim Cuddy. The other singer is Greg Keelor ... his voice is more in the vein of someone like Bob Dylan. Very different sounding between the two. They have too many good songs to mention , but “Lost Together” , “Diamond Mine” , “Trust Yourself” , “Rain Down on Me” , and “Hasn’t Hit Me Yet” are few of my favourites. Huge fan of your channel btw.
Have always loved Jim Cuddys’ voice!! ❤️🔥🇨🇦
You cant put these guys in a box. They are just Blue Rodeo❤
Another awesome Canadian band! They have a lot of hits! Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
Great find guys. Blue Rodeo were huge in Canada. The US misses out on so much great music. Check out " It Hasn't Hit Me Yet" or " Bad Timing".
These guys have dozens of Canadian hits . I highly recommend them
My favorite of their songs is "5 Days in May"..."she loved the lines around his mouth." so good
Many people say The Tragically Hip is Canada's garage band, if so then Blue Rodeo is our campfire band.......
Canada doesn't disappoint.
Unlike our current prime minister, who has a knack for that.
😂😅😊
I can't fathom HOW I ever missed this one; but here I am at 70 (plus)... hearing this sweeeet song for the very first time...like y'all !!
If you aren’t Canadian you probably wouldn’t have heard it. I doubt it if it got any airplay in the US.
You'd probably really like their songs "Lost Together" and "Diamond Mine".
@@patswanson2870 As we've read from other Americans who post, many have heard of Canadian bands by being in border states or cities like Detroit and Buffalo. Often some groups are very popular in certain areas ie BTO in St Louis, RUSH in Cleveland etc before they hit the big time. By the time BR came round we were well into the era of music videos and as I have posted April Wine was one of the most played bands on the opening day of MTV. Videos were easily transferable for exposure. So, one person posting can't speak for everybody.
As a Canadian I’ve always enjoyed Colin James. Lots of great tunes - “Just came back”, Keep on Loving me baby”, or Why’d you lie” would be fine choices.
Of his earlier stuff Five Long Years and Voodoo Thing are great too.
Also, "Far Away Like a Radio."
Jim Cuddy's got some chops! "Lost Together" is another great one of theirs and "Hasn't Hit Me Yet".
A lot of their songs, this one especially, have a Blues flavour that just pulls you in, and envelops you like a smooth whiskey, sipped by a bonfire.
I was 19 living in Toronto when this came out. Believe me airplay wasn't limited to country stations, it was EVERYWHERE. Crossed over to pop, rock and even to alt as y'all implied Good song, prolific band.
It was everywhere
Great song, from them my favorites are Lost Together, Diamond Mine, Trust Yourself, 5 Days In May, Rain Down On Me.
don't forget Hasn't Hit me Yet..
Not a fan of Diamond Mine.
Amanda Marshall is a great Canadian singer as well.
This comment right here!
Never heard of them! But, I have to say they are worth looking into!🤘🔥
Highly recommend Trust Yourself (live on Letterman to have your mind blown by Jim Cuddy''s vocals), Hasn't Hit me Yet (live on Leno) and for something way different and bluesier, Diamond Mine (the latter 2 feature the other singer, Greg Keelor).
Yes yes yes check them out , you won’t be disappointed
Try Hasn,t Hit Me Yet. You will love it.
Never heard the song or of the band before. But it was very nice. Gave my emotional heart a little tug.
Another iconic band from Canada with a significant catalog, so there's lots more to explore. Another band worth a listen to from the same era is the Cowboy Junkies and their cover of Sweet Jane.
So glad you got here! I recommended them to you a year? ago. Blue Rodeo has many great tunes. I look forward to this reaction. I hope you ‘try’ other tunes…. Rain Down on Me, Hasn’t Hit Me Yes, Lost Together, Bad Timing, Cynthia….etc!etc!etc! Excellent musicianship, great voices/harmonies…have fun in the Blue Rodeo rabbit hole!
Oh WOW this song is fantastic! I can’t believe I’ve never heard it before.
Some other great songs by Blue Rodeo: Rose Colored Glasses, 5 Days in May and Until I am Myself Again. Worth a reaction...
Another great Canadian band not heard in the US
Try Big Wreck " That Song". Another great Canadian band with amazing musicians. One critic described their music as bowel shaking bass.
I second that
Not Canadian only Ian Thornley is Canadian rest are from Boston or States where they formed while in College
@@StuTube55 Ian Thornley is Big Wreck. Makes it Canadian in my books.
He is amazing indeed saw them a couple of months ago but the fact is mostly American and formed in Boston. Have a gooder. I am Canadian too so I appreciate Thornley immensely
IIRC, the current version of the band is entirely Canadian.
Blue Rodeo. amazing! Do a deep dive and look into some of their other great songs
A great band, love Blue Rodeo!
Yes! Great song. They were big up here in Canada, they have lots of good songs 🎵 👌
Five Days in May - amazing song!
The whole album is good. And the singer Jim Cuddy has a bunch of good songs too.
Dam my fav driving song got my only tickets playin this song!
Growing up in the 80s, in a small town in Canada, this song ended many a school dance.
Jim Cuddy is an amazing singer; he shares the Lead with Greg Keillor, who is also great. Other suer songs include Til I Am Myself Again, Lost Together....The CBC did the great Canadian singlaong for Canada 150 to Lost together and it is GREAT.
Beauty, nice one.
Yet another jewel in the Crown of great artists............Oh Canada ! :)
Now you've got to do 'Lost Together' and SURPRISE they have another lead singer for a different sound.
Cowboy Junkies is also some great stuff. Everything on the Trinity Sessions album, recorded live in a church in Toronto when Digital Audio Tape was a new thing. "Misguided Angel" and "Sweet Jane" were huge hits.
Nice. Blue Rodeo, great band.
Love this tune! The opening verse states: "Don't tell me I'm wrong, 'cuz I've been watching every move that you make"...
I used to sing this verse to my kids when they were 5-8 years of age whenever they were 'telling lies', as kids that age are prone to doing...HILARIOUS grimaces on their faces!!
They probably hate this song now. 😄 Hope they don't hate Blue Rodeo entirely.
Country rock in Canada? The Stampeders had a million hits.
Sweet City Woman wouldn't be a bad place to start.
@@lonepigeon68 A little too overplayed for me, it's the song that makes some want to .call them a one hit wonder.
Here's a few of the Stampeders: "Carry Me", "Devil You", "Monday Morning Choo Choo", "Wild Eyes", "Johnny Lightning", "Oh My Lady", "Minstrel Gypsy", "Running Wild" , "Me and My Stone", "Ramona", "Hit the Road Jack", "New Orleans", "Playin' in the Band", "Sweet Love Bandit", "Then Came the White Man, "Julia Get Up" (Rich Dodson)
@@jethro1963 I guess you haven't heard much else from them then.
@@Straydogger What would you like to know?
Blue Rodeo is a Canadian band I love! You guys should check out Diamond Mine. 💎 ❤
Jim Cutty has a great voice, this band has a lot of really good tunes.
Chilliwack. Canadian rockers with a few minor hits. Fly At Night is easily my fav of theirs. Epic tune.
Loads of Canadian gems. Some we keep hidden for ourselves 😁🇨🇦❤
I’ve had two favourite bands in my 56 years on this earth, neither of which can be pigeon-holed into a single genre and both of which have had prolific, legendary careers. One is Rush and the other is Blue Rodeo. I only made it to about a dozen Rush concerts, but I’m well past two dozen (and counting) with Blue Rodeo.
Rush gave us 19 studio albums. Blue Rodeo has so far given us 16. Both have written songs that are deceptively complex but so appealing to the untrained ear. Both were also best heard live and both have a cross-cutting catalogue.
There are some differences, though. There are two singer songwriters in Blue Rodeo, who have long been regarded by critics and fans as Canada’s Lennon and McCartney. You’ve just heard Jim Cuddy, so it’s only fair for you to now give a listen to Greg Keelor. The entry-point for listening to Greg would be Hasn’t Hit Me Yet. I have a couple of live recordings on my “channel” (such as it is) but there’s a dope official studio version video as well as professionally produced live versions too.
PS - bands like Blue Rodeo and the Tragically Hip have a devoted following in the US border states, just as far south as the waves from radio stations in Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Winnipeg, Regina, and Vancouver could carry their music.
This is a great song!
Still is. LOL
Yeah you did the nail on the head. This is probably played at every Canadian wedding
I have seen BR live four times. The first time, they were the headliners on Saturday at a country music festival. The next time was a folk festival. The last time I saw them, they were part of a Classic Rock festival. They are hard to pigeonhole.
Love this group❤️
As you liked BR, check out Has'nt Hit Me Yet or Lost Together. Another great contemporary band is the Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel or Sweet Jane. Lead Singer Margot Timmy has a beautiful, sultry voice. You'll love 'em.
Margo Timmins
Definitely Cowboy Junkies - Anniversary Song
I always lumped in BR, Cowboy Junkies and Crash Test Dummies together in a similar genre (to me) I wasn't a fan of any of them but there is no denying they were some pretty good groups with some great songs. I think the boys would find Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm interesting.
Haha when the bobble heads start it's all about the love at that point haha.
This is truly one of the greatest Canadian bands. Go down this rabbit hole when you can and you will not be disappointed. I've seen them twice and they are awesome live.
Saw them last summer. Still sound great!
Thanks!
Another Canadian you might like to react to is Michel Pagliaro. A couple of songs you could try are Lovin You Ain’t Easy and Some Sing Some Dance.
If you haven't heard our Canadian Celine Dion with Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli doing "The Prayer", that is a MUST also! It was HUGE in the 90s!
Lost together is a must by Blue Rodeo. Our radio stations here have to play at least 35% Canadian content on the airwaves so that's why they're so popular here. Tragically Hip is another national treasure ❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
They're popular because they are GOOD! Are you not seeing this American reaction? Americans who say that they will add them to their playlists - without being forced? Our Canadian content rules only ensured that Canadians were given an opportunity when before that time even our very own radio stations were biased towards everybody else - with the thinking that Canadian can't be that good. It WAS that good & had never really been given a chance before!
You yourself are telling these two to listen to "Lost Together" (& you're right) & the Tragically Hip. Why? Because you like them right?
@@Carrie-so3ro WTF kind of rant was that. Of course I love blue rodeo never said I didn't. Just saying Canadian airwaves have to play 35% Canadian content that's it that's all
Never heard it, but i like it! He has a great voice! Definitley going to listen a few more times - then playlist! For sure an 80's/90's country. But it is so simple, so his voice shines.
Lonestar.... That's is who it sounds like. 💖😊. Exactly - if you don't try you will never know what can happen or get answers... No regrets!
I love this band. They have so many great songs, and they're still together. If you want to try to up tempo, try Till I Am Myself Again.
they have some great song. Bulletproff, After the rain, Rain down on me , Diamond mind. good songs good voice.
Our love shines....
@@BrimHawk Yes
"Slow burn" was well put, Nick; and they eventually reeled me in, too.
The keyboards always remind me of the organist they used to have at Hockey Games for some reason 😂
This one's new to me,one of the few. Motown sound, like it. Nice job guys.😮
Rain down on me is another great one
really love this group and lead singer's voice! never heard of them till now. for something different why dont you try Restless Heart. they had a lot of great ballard top 40 songs. Like "The bluest eyes in Texas" or "I'll still be loving you" or "That rock won't roll" just to name a few.
Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor know how to write songs. Saw them last summer in concert. They sitll Rock!
I am 61 and Canadian but came late to Blue Rodeo's catalogue. They are really catchy. Jim Cuddy has a great voice. My favourites by them are Diamond Mine and Til I Am Myself Again.
You say you keep finding hidden Canadian gems well I keep trying to steer you to another gold mine of Canadian tunes. Once again I will ask, beg, for you to react to Canadian rock/pop band Max Webster. Once again I will ask that you begin with their classic uptempo rocker with the quirky lyrics, High Class In Borrowed Shoes. Please Nick and Ryan ... before I die. :)
Big Sugar!
This makes my heart SO happy. Blue Rodeo is iconic Canadian GOLD - with a 30 year rabbit hole to go down. Jim's vocals are incredible - and the band is fantastic. I have seen them live many, many times - and they are just as good as in the studio. Please check out more from them - this is their first hit and an amazing start - but they have SO much more out there. Diamond Mine features the other lead - Greg Keelor - and is a fantastic song. 5 Days in May, Bulletproof, Trust Yourself, Rose Coloured Glasses, Five Will Get You Six (my personal favourite). Can't wait to see your next reaction to them. Btw - we have a lot MORE fantastic country/rock artists. Check out Dean Brody - Burning Down the House, Emerson Drive - Countrified Soul, Jason McCoy - I Feel a Sin Coming On, James Barker Band - Chills. That's just a small start. Enjoy the ride. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! :)
They were huge for a long time in Canada as was the song Try. I kinda stopped paying attention to music so I am not sure what has become of them aside from slowing down. I wasn't into them but they were the favourite group of my best friend and his wife. Try is one of those songs that just about everybody knew and could sing together, even me. This is the song that a guy would get dragged out on the dance floor.
did the concrete for a studio/barn/hangout for Cuddy years ago, super nice guy, made us some sandwiches and coffee and a great band.
Blue Rodeo has a pretty deep catalogue. The two songwriters (Jim Cuddy & Greg Keelor) have a very Lennon/McCartney vibe. Cuddy writes & sings a lot of the more straight-ahead, melodic stuff while Keelor is a bit trippier. If you want to hear more, try "Hasn't Hit Me Yet", "Bad Timing", or "Diamond Mine".
If you want to be pleasantly surprised by another Canadian band that's big in Canada, you have to try Sloan. 4 singer/songwriters who are heavily influenced by a lot of great rock & pop bands from the 60s-80s. Their songs are catchy as all get out, and a lot of them have crunchy guitar riffs that go hard. I recommend "If It Feels Good Do It", "Money City Maniacs", "She Says What She Means", or "The Lines You Amend".
Here's a few more names of some bands North of the border for you to check out: Trooper, The Trews, Thornley/Big Wreck, Big Sugar, Priestess, Colin James. There's a literal treasure trove of stuff up here for you guys!
Everyone likes Blue Rodeo ! Jim Cuddy handles most of the love songs and Greg Keelor more of the rockers . Their catalog of hits is impressive - worth exploring further . Good review
I Love Blue Rodeo, thanks for reacting to this. Check out "Rain Down on Me," and "Hasn't Hit Me Yet."
Two of my top faves! also Bad Timing
If you decide to do a deep dive on this band, you won't be disappointed. They have some stuff that is more pure country, Beatles influenced rock, psycheadelic rock... and everything in-between. Seen them live a few times over the years... always enjoyable.
Dam so many great memories. We love them here at home.... 😂I've been driving 45 yrs. Only speeding ticket I got was to Five days in May.
I did 12 hours shifts as a Nanny. My daughter use to warn me Mom watch your foot, as soon as it started! Great band I'd say Rock!
Cheers
You want more Canadian content? Try Lovin’ you ain’t easy by Michel Pagliaro aka The Pag. Pure 70’s pop rock perfection. Another band from Canada that never got their due.
Great band , go down the blue rodeo rabbit hole lots of hits , hadn’t hit me yet or 5 days in may great songs
have you guys tried the Canadian artists ' Grapes of wrath' song " A fishing tale" ........Sweeney Todd song " Roxy roller"...........Streetheart song "What kind of love is this"
Guys please find the time to listen to Blue Rodeo s "Bad Timing" its a classic
Aug. 31/97 was a Sunday and I had forgotten to 'un-set' the alarm on my clock.....so at 630 in the morning, I awakened to the news of Princess Diana's death and that news bulletin was followed by this song. For me this song is forever connected to that event. And Jim Cuddy is as nice to look at as he is to listen to. Long-time fan.
You are just scratching the surface of great Canadian bands. Some have 2 to 10 great songs. Smells like a Canadian Marathon coming up.

Saw them play at my college in the early 90's. Pretty good band. They didn't get much airplay south of the border it seems. This is probably their best tune.
Did you go to Queen's then?
There are SO many good songs to listen to by this group & the 2 lead singers give different styles to the types of songs they perform as well. Lots of their great ones to listen to are already listed here in your comments section already - (I will just say that well, I like ALL of their songs & "5 Days in May" - is one of my favourites, I find the video a little disturbing in parts for that one. I know that I must be missing the message but the song itself is great.)
I like "Floating" by them, more organ.
I'd be interested in the boys' reaction to the Partland Brothers: Either Soul City or Honest Man
Next play their appearance on David Letterman Show to experience the Rock and Roll part of Blue Rodeo
2 videos ago when you did "Moonlight Feels Right" and mentioned that any song with the word "moon" in it turns out to be a great song, I was going to comment that any song with the word "Blue" in it is also a great song. You should do something like this as a "marathon". All songs with the word "Moon" and all songs with the word "blue".
Blue Bayou (Linda Ronstadt)
Ocean Blue (a beautiful song by ABC)
Okay, hold on to your nipples, because you're prolly not gonna wanna do this one, but "The Color of Blue" by... ... S Club 7! There I said it! You will have to trust me on this one, it is a great song (I think it was written by Stevie Wonder).
Blue Rodeo is a Canadian equivalency to Bob Seger is to America, the passionate story tellers who can unwind and deliver a heart felt passionate ballad with Country Rock influences, a pop single, or just kick ass rock from time to time. Now Seger early on was far harder then Blue Rodee over all, but once in a while they will unleash the Rock beast within them go up tempo and have at it. Both beloved in their Native Lands et al.
In terms of rock with minor-to-moderate elements of country, I think The Eagles of the early-to-mid-1970s were the best fusion of that sound and still are. I don't think you have done too many Eagles songs, if at all, but I also know they are notorious reaction channel blockers. Already Gone is a great example of country rock. Take It To The Limit is another favourite of mine by them.
When party time guitarist Joe Walsh joined them in the late 1970s they became more rock oriented and put the masterpieces Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane and New Kid In Town.
Speaking of Joe Walsh, his solo hit Life's Been Good So Far is a fun song with great music and funny, self-deprecating humour by Joe.
I really don't know this one but very cool song . Thanks . I felt a lot of influence but can't single out who. Please react to Michael Stanley Band - he can't love you . Cleveland 80s rock.
5 days in May, Bad timing, hasn't hit me yet are some other songs of theirs you should check out.
Since you guys are on a Canadian band kick, I strongly suggest a band called The Tea Party. Give the song Temptation a go, it will def wake you up to some amazing Canadian content.
I'm glad you guys tried 👍🏻😊 succeeded
Very nice, like you guys never heard of them. Consider this more country pop. Would like to see your reaction to some country ROCK! Give Outlaws a try…either freeborn man or breaker breaker.
They do a great sad song called Bad Timing . Is this a good time?
how bout Canadian Bryan Adams songs, "Run to you" or "Cuts like a knife". he had a lot of hits and a great voice. review him
Try the album “ Five days in May”
Archie Bell and Drells, Let’s Groove.
The Tramps
Tavares
Bobby Caldwell
The dude is going on.
Jim cuddy lead singer
One of my all time favourites ….. not really country though….
I have checked a few days ago to see which of some of our biggest artists you have done & I have BEEN SHOCKED by how CRIMINALLY little you have done. For that reason I will include some for you to check out - & yet it will only be a small portion as the list IS extensive!
Jeff Healey - watch his live performance of "See the Light" - posted by him from "A little Night Music 1988"
He is BETTER than Stevie Ray Vaughan! I know that those are fighting words BUT he can do everything that SRV can do but there is a LITTLE CATCH:
Jeff Healey IS BLIND & PLAYS THAT WELL AND
Jeff Healey LEARNED TO PLAY WHEN HE WAS ALREADY BLIND - (as he had cancer in his eyes as a baby)
(Jeff Healey - who already succumbed to the cancer he fought for all of his young life - was a Canadian STAR!)
Other Canadians to hear (& some were so big that maybe you HAVE heard them):
Shania Twain - "Man, I Feel Like a Woman", to start - (she is mirroring Robert Palmer's - "Simply Irresistible" with this video)
- besides having a big career she has ANOTHER claim to fame:
it is said that SCIENTIFICALLY - she has the "perfect" attractive face
Robbie Robertson - "Somewhere Down That Crazy River"
Trooper - "Raise A Little Hell"
Amanda Marshall - "Beautiful Goodbye" - followed by the VERY important "Birmingham"
- despite the importance of "Birmingham", you should still get introduced to Amanda Marshall with "Beautiful Goodbye"
Spirit of the West - "Home for a Rest"
- for a 2nd style "If Venice is Sinking"
- (This is NOT "New Orleans is Sinking" by "The Tragically Hip" which I think you did? react to ?)
Kim Mitchell - "Go For A Soda" - (the video is VERY, VERY cheesy though!)
Crash Test Dummies - "Superman's Song"
Great Big Sea - "Mari Mac" - (this is an OLD, old song that travelled from Scotland, to Ireland & then to Canada & this group has made a very "new" arrangement of it)
- for their "regular" style try "Going Up" or "Ordinary Day"
Doug & the Slugs - "Tom Cat Prowl"
You MUST know - Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO)!, but if not (it seems impossible that you don't)
- start with "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"
Dan Hill (start w. his duet with American Vonda Shepard) - "Can't We Try"
You MUST also try Colin James - who has SWITCHED genres, experimenting with different sounds & styles
- he has done Big Band/Swing, Pop/Rock, Blues, - & a mix of these together & then some sort of country kitchen American Blues (this last style only was never really successful here in Canada)
- start with - "Five Long Years" - his pop/rock side
Gowan - "When There's Time For Love"
OR start with earlier 80s Gowan - "Strange Animal"
Sarah McLaughlin - "Aidia" - (I'm Not 100% sure that this is completely the correct spelling)
Sass Jordan - "Make You a Believer"
Barenaked Ladies - "If I Had a Million Dollars" - this is their 1st song & Canadians loved their quirkiness
- (which was changed a lot once they had an American producer. In the "end" they did a happy medium.)
THIS - is JUST THE STARTER LIST!
Hoping you will continue to give some of our Canadian artists a try. ♥
