Blackie and the Rodeo Kings - KING OF THIS TOWN Biography
Acclaimed Canadian supergroup Blackie and the Rodeo Kings—Colin Linden, Stephen Fearing, and Tom Wilson—will release the long awaited album Kings And Queens June 14 in the U.S. on File Under: Music/Dramatico/Universal. Three years in the making, Kings & Queens pairs the band with legendary and iconic female artists, including Rosanne Cash, Exene Cervenka, Holy Cole, Emmylou Harris, Amy Helm, Janiva Magness, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Sam Phillips Serena Ryder, Pam Tillis, Sara Watkins, Lucinda Williams, Cassandra Wilson, and Patti Scialfa. Produced by Grammy-and Juno-winning producer Colin Linden (Bruce Cockburn, Lucinda Williams, Colin James), the album was recorded in various cities from Nashville to Toronto to New York City to New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Woodstock. “No destination was too far for love,” says Stephen Fearing. “Colin flew around North America with hard drives and files on his computer, and when we had an artist agree to be involved like Lucinda Williams, he flew to L.A. and recorded in the studio in L.A. with her.” The concept for Kings And Queens was a random idea that came out of a late-night conversation in the van about “various artists we’ve all had the privilege of working with,” says Colin Linden. “We began with a page torn out of a notebook and a lot of ‘hey, what about’ and ‘wouldn’t it be great to work with” interjections.” Some three years later, they transformed that wish list into Kings And Queens.
