This week we talk about Five Days in July, the fifth album by the Canadian country-rock band, Blue Rodeo. 

Formed in 1984 by high school pals Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, Blue Rodeo became mainstays of the country and roots-rock revival in Toronto during the mid-1980s. 

In 1993, the band gathered  at Greg Keelor’s farmhouse to begin work on their next album, Five Days In July , which was actually recorded in five days. Bucking the trend of popular music at the time (grunge anyone?) the band made their most acoustic album to date. The lack of loud, distorted guitar didn’t seem to matter to their Canadian fans. Full of tunes about love and loss, many of of the songs on Five Days in July would become some of the band’s most adored songs. The album would end up being the band’s biggest commercial success,  and cement their standing as one of Canada’s most beloved bands.
