The Days In Between

Toronto Sun
It's hard to believe that this veteran Toronto outfit is releasing its eighth studio album on Tuesday.

But that's part of the pleasure of listening to Blue Rodeo's latest effort, a mostly striking 12-song collection that finds the band with a renewed and revitalized sound.

Calgary Sun
On first and second listen, you might think that Blue Rodeo is merely coasting on The Days In Between, their eighth studio album (in stores Tuesday). They don't indulge in any extended jams, and the spacey, psychedelic numbers that cropped up on their last three records are conspicuously absent.

The Days In Between

The Days In Between,Blue Rodeo,Blue Rodeo Prod.,Canada's most popular roots rock band, Blue Rodeo became a veritable institution in their home country, although they never quite moved beyond cult status in the U.S. Their sound was a basic blend of country, folk, and rock, but with a definite pop appeal,Pop,Rock,Rock/Pop

Best Blue Rodeo album so far!.......2005-06-28

I got into Blue Rodeo because I heard the song, "Somebody Waits" on the radio. I now own Days In Between, Palace of Gold, and Greatest Hits. By that nature, I can only make a comparison between 'Days' and 'Palace', and the songs on the Greatest Hits. It may be just my musical taste, but I would label 'Days' as their greatest hits instead of the album with that name. There isn't a bad song on the whole album. It also has a different feel in the production than the other albums I own. After buying this album, I couldn't wait to get another, and Palace of Gold definitely let me down. I read that 4 days in July is their best album, but most of the songs from that one are already on the Greatest Hits Cd. I still think their best song ever is "Hasn't Hit Me Yet", but I would list all of the songs from this album behind that one before any other song from any other album. Get this album. It is their best.

Thunderstorm Music.......2004-05-03

When the first notes of "Cinema Song" crept through my speakers I couldn't help but get chills. This could possibly be Jim Cuddy's finest moment with Blue Rodeo since "Five Days In May"! This song alone makes the album worth owning (and it's only the first song!). It gets better though, Greg Keelor comes in with "The Seeker" in classic alt.country fashion. Keelor really shone on this album and with lines like "..the fine line between stealing and giving in the landscape of the saints..." is evendence that he was up to good. Other high points are the soaring vocals on the album's first single "Somebody Waits" as Jim Cuddy's crystal clear voice rings high. "The Days In Between" is Greg Keelor's only rocker, but it's one of the most standout songs on the album as is Keelor's moody "This Road" in which Glenn Milchem becomes more than just a drummer, he MAKES that song! The album does have a couple slow points which keeps it from getting the perfect score, but with what's good on here, the snoozers are vastly outweighed.

Blue Rodeo-A great Canadian secret..........2002-03-26

A friend recommended Blue Rodeo a year ago and I now own all of their music. They have a great sound and really moving lyrics. The Days in Between is my absolute favorite and I'm so happy that their CD's are more easily available in the US. Hearing them LIVE is the about only thing that could be better. They are GREAT!

Great Music from Blue Rodeo.......2001-10-01

Blue Rodeo's "The Days In Between" is an excellent album on all accounts. The soulful combination of Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor's songwriting has not been so clearly articulated since their "Five Days in July" album. As with that album, the writing is the strong suit and the performances here are really impeccable. The songs "Cinema Song", "Bitter Fruit", "Andrea" and "Sad Nights" are as good as contemporary songwriting get, and the ending track "Truscott" is one of the most poignant works they've ever composed. Overall, this is a great album from one of the most unfairly overlooked Canadian bands.

Canadian Alt-Country Rides On.......2001-06-27

Blue Rodeo is a band that very well personifies the genre of Alternative Country music, and The Days In Between is an ideal example. They are not Alt-Country Pop in the conventional radio-friendly sense. They have had a good share of fine radio songs and probably have another one with Sad Nights. There's a line in the title cut to this album that I believe sums up the feel of this album, "And I was happy for awhile but then I started chasing your stone cold heart". Ahhhh, good ol' country alcohol lament! The album cover is of a VW Bug driving down a long, black and white country road. Is it sunrise or sunset? Things to ponder when relationships get squirrley. Don't get the wrong impression that this album is depressing. It does put you to thinking and reading the enclosed lyrics but, it also has plenty of Blue Rodeo's trademark excellent drumming and guitar hooks.

The bottom line: If you are new to Blue Rodeo and have a few bucks to spend taking a musical chance, pick this album up. I believe you will enjoy it enough to want to look into their other material. Definitely listen to the clip of Somebody Waits or Sad Nights. If you are a fan, The Days In Between will likely rate with you like the Five Days in July or Casino albums. It's not their masterwork, but it's still quite good.

One of their best.......2000-07-20

I buy every Blue Rodeo album on the first day it's released and have seen them live at least 10 times so I'm not really unbiased. They are truly a top of the line band.

This is their eighth studio album and I believe it to be one of their 2 or 3 best. One lead, Jim Cuddy, is very strong on this album and the other lead, Greg Keelor attempted to crank up his songs a little more than on their last album, Tremolo. The album is very strong from front to back which makes it a great album to own.

If you're new to Blue Rodeo, I suggest that you buy Five Days in July which most believe to be their quintessential work but this is a very good second choice.

The Best One Yet.......2000-05-26

This is the best disc these guys have turned out yet. They seem to be getting a little funkier with every album they do. This album has their usual mix of ballads and quicker tunes. Songs with Jim Cuddy on the lead vocals remind me a lot of his solo album...and Keelor is at his brooding, funky all time best. There's not a song on this album that isn't good in its own way. I'm so surprised these guys haven't been picked up in the States they way they have in Canada, especially with the current country-rock cross over thats going on! I sure am glad I was in Canada when Outskirts came out! I've followed them ever since!

One of the best bands the America ISN'T listening to!.......2000-05-13

That's right. Canadians know something we don't. Blue Rodeo is one of the most amazing alt./country/cow punk (whatever you want to call it) bands I have ever come across! Definitely worth checking out. Their blend of folk, country, and guitar-driven rock make them unique and definitely hard to categorize. In addition to their foot-stompin' material, Jim/Greg have arguably penned some of the most beautiful ballads ever written. "Days in Between" definitely doesn't "rock" like a lot of their older stuff (with the exception of "Beggin' You to Let Me In") which is the ONLY reason I've left off a star. I think overall the album is a little on the slow side. But hey if you're in a mellow mood, it's just perfect. If you're new to Blue Rodeo, do yourself a favor and pick up "Diamond Mine", "Casino", or "Five Days in July" which are my favorite albums and, in my opinion, best represent the FULL spectrum (hard core twang, dreamy ballads, and everything in between!) of what this incredible band is capable of.

Days In Between.......2000-03-31

Blue Rodeo has several EXCELLENT albums, this being one of them. These guys just keep getting better. This album has a 60/70ish flavour to it, especially with "Somebody Waits" and "Begging You To Let Me In". "Cinema Song" is another beauty in the same style as "5 Days In May". Well worth buying!

Wow.......2001-03-08

This album is spectacular and highly addictive. Blue Rodeo never cease to amaze me with their talent. The tracks of this album range from their classic ballad style, such as Andrea to very high energy, such as The Days In Between. I was hooked from the first listen and have never tired of listening to it. Every time I spin the CD, I find something new to enjoy. I hope Blue Rodeo will continue writing classic material. The Best Band In Canada!!!!
