Blue Rodeo est d\u00e9finitivement li\u00e9 \u00e0 plus de deux d\u00e9cennies de musique canadienne. Il est donc amusant de constater que ses deux guitaristes\/chanteurs, Jim Cuddy et Greg Keelor, ont en fait pass\u00e9 la majeure partie du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1980 \u00e0 New York. Jouant sous le nom de The HiFi’s, leur tentative de perc\u00e9e dans la Grosse Pomme s’est finalement sold\u00e9e par un \u00e9chec – une exp\u00e9rience qui les a ramen\u00e9s chez eux, \u00e0 Toronto, en 1980. Ce sera la meilleure d\u00e9cision de leur vie. <\/p>\n\n
“De retour \u00e0 Toronto, il y avait une sc\u00e8ne musicale incroyable”, se souvient Cuddy. “D\u00e8s que nous sommes revenus, j’ai su que nous avions fait le bon choix. Leur choix a conduit \u00e0 la formation de l’un des actes les plus durables de notre pays.<\/p>\n\n
Se faisant les dents sur la sc\u00e8ne florissante des clubs de Queen Street, Blue Rodeo, compos\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque du bassiste Bazil Donovan, du clavi\u00e9riste Bob Wiseman et du batteur Cleave Anderson, est bient\u00f4t en mesure d’enregistrer des morceaux. L’album de 1980 qui en r\u00e9sulte, Outskirts, est un d\u00e9but historique. Son m\u00e9lange harmonieux de country, de rockabilly et de jazz, avec une touche de blue-eyed soul, \u00e9tait \u00e0 la fois intemporel et \u00e9trangement original. Un titre en particulier, “Try”, la ballade de Cuddy, donne au groupe un ancrage qu’il n’a pas encore perdu.<\/p>\n\n
Tout au long des ann\u00e9es 80, 90 et 00, Blue Rodeo a encha\u00een\u00e9 les succ\u00e8s, notamment Diamond Mine, Casino, Lost Together, Five Days in July, Palace of Gold et Small Miracles.<\/p>\n\n
Le d\u00e9part d’Anderson a finalement \u00e9t\u00e9 remplac\u00e9 par le batteur Glenn Milchem (qui fait maintenant partie du groupe depuis pr\u00e8s de 20 ans et qui est lui-m\u00eame un excellent compositeur dans son projet parall\u00e8le, The Swallows), tandis que Wiseman a laiss\u00e9 la place \u00e0 des musiciens tels que James Gray, Kim Dechamps, Bob Packwood et, aujourd’hui, le multi-instrumentiste sous-estim\u00e9 Bob Egan. Au fond, le trio Cuddy, Keelor et Donovan a toujours dirig\u00e9 le navire d’une main ferme et a su appr\u00e9cier la chance qu’il avait d’\u00eatre stationn\u00e9 au Canada.<\/p>\n\n
“Je ne voudrais pas avoir l’air trop canadien”, dit Cuddy, “mais c’est vraiment une chose remarquable que d’\u00eatre admis \u00e0 Tuktuyaaqtuuq, Fort McKay, etc. C’est une exp\u00e9rience incroyable.<\/p>\n\n
“Je pense qu’il y a des \u00e9tapes importantes dans la carri\u00e8re d’un groupe”, dit Cuddy. “Je me souviens de la premi\u00e8re fois que nous sommes pass\u00e9s \u00e0 l’\u00e9mission Morningside [de la CBC]. M\u00eame si Peter [Gzowski] ne nous pr\u00eatait pas beaucoup d’attention, nous \u00e9tions \u00e0 l’\u00e9mission Morningside, et cela allait dans les oreilles de mes parents. Mon p\u00e8re m’a t\u00e9l\u00e9phon\u00e9 ce jour-l\u00e0, comme s’il ne m’avait jamais vu auparavant. Je pense que l’All\u00e9e des c\u00e9l\u00e9brit\u00e9s fait partie de ces exp\u00e9riences ; c’est une reconnaissance de quelque chose d’incroyablement rare qui se produit dans votre propre pays. C’est une c\u00e9l\u00e9bration pour ma famille”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
