  • Blackie and the Rodeo Kings Is a Canadian Supergroup Born of the Highest Intentions
    A Conversation with Blackie & the Rodeo Kings by Frank Goodman (Puremusic.com, 10/2004) Blackie and the Rodeo Kings is a Canadian supergroup born of the highest intentions. They came together to immortalize, or at least further popularize, the great songs of Willie P. Bennett, the Jimi Hendrix of the mandolin. (Although Willie has a number of solo albums out, he is better known as the magneto in the Fred Eaglesmith band, a perennially touring outfit of mythic proportion.) The three principals are each artists of great stature and immense talent. Stephen Fearing has often been called the Richard Thompson of Canada, which is a compliment to both men. He is a gripping solo artist and an acoustic wonder, rare. I was very impressed by how strong an ensemble player he also is, since many solo experts do not excel here. His songs are superlative, and whether penned solo or with his growing number of partners, you always hear his voice in the song. Colin Linden is one of the most audacious talents of the Canadian scene. His eight solo CDs are only the beginning. He is a sought after producer, session player, and songwriter—on stage, in the studio, and on screen. His cameo as a minstrel clergyman in the Coen Brothers’ film Intolerable Cruelty was excellent, he sang a beautiful and faithful version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic “April Come She Will.” Colin is a blistering slide guitar player, an inspired studio force, and a musician’s musician. I didn’t know as much about Tom Wilson when I met the group recently in NYC, before their appearance at Joe’s Pub (a beautiful listening room in Soho).

  • A Conversation with Tom Wilson by Frank Goodman (6/2006, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Tom Wilson by Frank Goodman (6/2006, Puremusic.com) As good fans of Puremusic have gathered, we are very enamored of the music scene we have slowly discovered in the land up North. The more we look, the more we find. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings was the most amazing act we came upon, simply because it's made of three huge talents that have careers, indeed, legacies in progress, of their own. In this conversation, we focus on the most successful and most explosive of the trio, Tom Wilson. (Rest assured, we will be covering recent records by Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden in the next issues.) Tom Wilson's group Junkhouse hit it big in the '90s in Canada, with several Top 5 records. He's led the rock 'n' roll lifestyle that goes with that kind of carnival ride. He's much better now, in a great relationship with Canadian comedy star Cathy Jones, who's even one of his musical co- writers. He's a complex and endearing personality of the first order, and we enjoyed the hell out of talking with him. Tom's a painter and a poet, a storyteller and a house frickin rocker when he turns that on. He's got a boatload of presence and a low voice that would upstage Darth Vader. Wilson's so compelling, he makes this writer want to go to Canada and check out more of this scene for myself. So I'm headed up to the Hillside Festival in mid-summer in Guelph, near Toronto.

  • Blackie and the Rodeo Kings Go South
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 3, 2013 BLACKIE AND THE RODEO KINGS GO SOUTH Seminal Canadian alt-country supergroup achieves a border-crossing landmark with acoustic-flavored new album available January 14, 2014 via File Under: Music; 7” vinyl with tracks “South” and “North” out on October 29, 2013 LOS ANGELES, Calif. — “We’re very sensitive men,” notes Tom Wilson, who with longtime compatriots Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden comprises Blackie and the Rodeo Kings’ singer-songwriter-guitarist triumvirate. “And when we’re not sensitive, we’re loud.” The fabled Canadian roots-rockers are a virtual institution in their home country, where they’ve been crafting bracing, catchy, introspective music for nearly two decades. Yet they’ve managed to maintain a relatively low profile in the United States. That situation seems likely to change with the U.S. release of the band’s eighth album, South, coming out through File Under: Music on January 14, 2014. A limited edited 7” vinyl containing tracks “South” and “North” is due out on October 29, 2013. <http://blackieandtherodeokings.com/> South represents a fresh creative step for Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, while embodying the qualities of rootsy musical uplift and quirky lyrical depth that have long distinguished the ensemble’s varied output. The album’s largely acoustic yet reliably punchy arrangements showcase the three songwriters’ multiple strengths, while their organically energetic performances maintain the vibrant chemistry that’s kept Blackie a consistently vital and distinctive musical force. Fearing, Linden and Wilson were already seasoned veterans of the Canadian music scene when they first forged their collaboration in 1996 in Hamilton, Ontario.
