Synopsis

Product Description
When Blackie & the Rodeo Kings assembled in 2006 at the legendary Bearsville Studio to record their fourth album, the 2007 Juno Nominated Let's Frolic, their intention was to record a single CD.The sessions went so well, were so creative and fun that they ended up recording 29 songs, too much for just one CD. And so we present to you Let's Frolic Again. With long time collaborators Richard Bell (keyboards), John Dymond (bass) and Gary Craig (drums) and guest appearances from Garth Hudson (the Band), Jimmy Weider, Malcolm Burn, and John Wynot, Blackie has produced one of their most satisfying and inspired efforts to date. Let's Frolic Again is looser and more rootsy then its predecessor and features a number of classic cover's including killer versions of Murray McLauchlan's Down By The Henry Moore , Teenage Head's Something On My Mind and two from Blackie inspiration Willie P Bennett; Don't Blame Your Blues On Me and Sometimes It Comes So Easy . Other standouts include There's No One Like You After All and How Long , both originals. When listening to this CD you feel as if you are actually sitting in as you hear some of the in between track chatter and counting in. The playing is stellar,the singing soulful and the overall results,spectacular.
 

CD Reviews

I was frolicking, now I'm rollicking!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Were your socks blown off by their album "Let's Frolic?" Just wait 'til you hear this one!



At the end of the song "Ole Slewfoot" you clearly hear someone in the recording studio say, "You wanna play this again just 'cause it's fun to play?" This simple question summarizes the whole CD. It's full of studio sessions, outtakes, and material that wasn't used on their previous album -- I wish that other artists' albums were as consistently good as this CD of "throwaway material."



If you're already a fan of BARK, you will instantly play this over and over again because it's that catchy and good! My favorite songs here are "Down by the Henry Moore," "Ole Slewfoot," and "Don't Blame Your Blues on Me." (If you're curious about the group in general, check out my review for "Let's Frolic.")"
