Jerry "Prog-Disco-Synth-Pop" Curry here.....hrumph!!!
I've had the record for about 3 months and I absolutely love it. It would
have easily made my 1998 Top 10 if I had it during that year. As another
has mentioned, it IS indeed quite melodic and strongly resembles Cuddy's
Blue Rodeo contributions. I also agree with the poster when they
mentioned liking Cuddy's B.R. material over Keeler's.
IMHO...Cuddy writes the best song and by far, have the more pleasant
voice. The record does have some Wilco folks on it as well as other Blue
Rodeo mates (Bazil Donovan).
Yes, it is on WEA Canada and available via import. Miles of Music does
have it however. I would rank this solo effort just under Tremelo and
Casino. Simply fabulous....course this is coming from a jaded source.
Blue Rodeo is one of the Top 2-3 acts/musicians that I would do "damn near
anything" to see live. A desert island group for me and I know I share
that opinion with a few other P2'ers. A Blue Rodeo fan wouldn't want to
exclude owning this CD.

I finally managed to track this album down about a month ago (it's
Canadien only at this point - on WEA).
I think it's great. Melodically very much like Cuddy's stuff with Blue
Rodeo,
maybe a little sturdier. There are at least a couple of the guys from BR
on the
record, though not Greg Keelor. (Jeff Tweedy sings a duet on one song.)
Maybe because I've found Keelor's songs and guitar playing on the last
couple
of Blue Rodeo albums annoying, I find myself enjoying this more.
