{"product_id":"outskirts","title":"Outskirts","description":"Blue Rodeo: Jim Cuddy, Greg Keelor (vocals, guitar); Bobby Wiseman (piano, acetone); Bazil Donovan (bass); Cleave Anderson (drums).\u003cbr\u003eThe first album by Toronto's Blue Rodeo suggests what would happen if one of the Paisley Underground bands of early '80s California--say, Opal or the Dream Syndicate--had gone from their psychedelic influences into a deep examination of MUSIC FROM BIG PINK and the orchestral folk-rock of Neil Young's self-titled solo debut.\u003cbr\u003eJim Cuddy and Greg Keelor write--separately--songs which lean slightly towards folk and country influences, but while later records would display a much more overt country flavor, these ten tracks are electro-acoustic pop songs along the lines of the Buffalo Springfield or late-period Byrds. The closing \"Floating\" is probably the album's best track, but none of the nine which precede it are in any way weak. It's easy to play spot-the-influence in places, but even at this early stage, Blue Rodeo show their strengths.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45409929167013,"sku":"825646563982","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/e7e4e16f81bcce2bb022107c07d1df11_c873de4f-8ca7-4ccb-9c1e-3882452efa9c.jpg?v=1759763511","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-gb\/products\/outskirts","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
