The Sheepdogs

Few bands capture the past as elegantly as The Sheepdogs. Since forming in 2004, the band from Saskatoon, Canada have fused rock’n’roll, roots and blues with a passion and delight that emanates from their songs – all tied up with harmonies that evoke Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and other ghosts of Laurel Canyon. They’ve won Juno Awards, had multi-platinum album sales, and become Rolling Stone’s first unsigned cover stars. Now, having left the major label world and bought back their masters, they’re doing things exactly on their terms.

Paradise Alone, the band’s five-track eighth album, is the first taste of this new chapter, coming out on their own label Right On Records.
A masterpiece in miniature, Paradise Alone showcases some of the best music of The Sheepdogs’ career. Produced by frontman Ewan Currie, engineered by Matt Ross-Spang (Rival Sons, Jason Isbell, Margo Price), and recorded at Southern Grooves in Memphis, Tennessee, it mixes the Sheepdogs’ groovy rock instincts with the soulful heritage of their location – infused with a free spirit that reflects their new independence. It’ll ring all the right bells with existing fans, and offer new food for thought.
