After so many years together, these guys communicate telepathically on stage. Master musicians who make it all look easy. Been aware of Colin Linden for some time because of his great production of Bruce Cockburn (another Canadian who should be far better known in the USA) but I'm a recent convert to Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. I wish there were more bands with this kind of power and intensity.
Been watching these guys together and solo for 21 years or more and I am amazed they are not HUGE ! Colin Linden is my favourite slide guitar player and player in general. Sat at his feet in Calgary last Tuesday night and was treated to his glowing aura and clinic he put on of playing & energy. What a band.
banffboyjh ......check out The Brothers Landreth.....Joey Landreth's another great slide player too!....all the best stuff seems to be coming out of Canada right now....greetings from UK.
You wont be disappointed.. There is an aura that you can feel being close to these guys. I can't explain it but if I had to try I'd say; this what joy and love sound like.
