Blackie and the Rodeo Kings- BARK @ Score! Music Magazine

	Blackie and the Rodeo Kings - BARK
	Location	Ontario
	Initial Impression	The first song is "Swinging From the Chains Of Love". Maybe it's a remake of that song from the eighties? Who's Jackie Washington? (You're going to have to look on their website for that answer.)
Notable Lyric	"And it all bleeds down/ Tattooed arms and old graffiti dream girls that fade and leave me stoned/ I carved my name in those old places old times and older faces" from "Stoned"
Factoid	One guy thanked his ex-wife for driving him to Buffalo and inspiring the song "Had Enough of You Today".
Serve With	Johnny Cash, Dire Straits.
Comments	My Initial Impression was so wrong. (Duh, RODEO Kings? Hello?) With songs like "House of Sin" and "Tie Me At The Crossroads" (a cover of Bruce Cockburn's song), you can't go wrong. Pretty good stuff. No wonder they've won a JUNO for Best Roots & Traditional Album, Group.
