Music reviews of Are You Ready
Music Review: Blue Rodeo returns to form!
Rating: 5 Stars
Although typecast as Country/Pop/Rock, these guys sure know how to make music. These twelve cuts return them to their "Five Days in July" and "The Days in Between" form. Needless to say, I love it. This is as good and as honest and as fun as any music that is being made today. The writing/singing duo of Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor have been called the "Canadian Lennon & McCartney." I'm not sure there is a much better endorsement in the entire Pop/Rock world. I have been a long, long time fan and this album sits on the shelf along with the rest of the amazing catalog. They are one, if not the top, of my favorite groups for a single reason: they make great music.

Description of Are You Ready
Album features the songs 'Cant Help Wondering Why', 'Runaway Train', & 'Tired Of Pretending'. Warner. 2005.With an impressive total of 10 Blue Rodeo studio recordings and five Juno awards in 20 years, Canada?s most consistent country-pop kings have stuck to what they do well on Are You Ready: making toe-tappin? music that fans of torch and twang will welcome with open arms. The disc?s kickoff track, "Can?t Help Wondering Why" is a three-minute, sunshine-y joyride that leads straight into the rockabilly-riffs of the Orbison-esque number "Are You Ready?" Near the end of the CD, however, the exact opposite emotion is evoked. "Tired of Pretending" brings Keelor?s full-frontal passion to the surface, the result is a compelling, gut-busting rant about apathy, where the co-frontman screams out "I?m tired of pretending that I still care."
Rockabilly pokes its head out on more than one occasion; a strong Celtic influence bleeds through as well, courtesy of Keelor?s "Phaedra?s Meadow" which features the legendary Paddy Moloney from the Chieftains on the Aeolian pipes and flute. The song?s sparse, spooky opening verse proves to be the disc?s highlight, a musical moment in time that is neither country, nor pop, but shows that the boys of Blue Rodeo continue to take inspiration from a host of styles, ultimately making their own rich, warm musical mélée.--Denise Sheppard
