Palace Of Gold
Blue Rodeo have released many studio albums, and while these Canadian standard-bearers have frequently delved into Byrds-tinged, alt-country fare, they haven't been afraid to tackle '70s-style AM pop or steamy Stax soul.
Never have its divergent tendencies been quite so apparent than on Palace of Gold, which adds sweeping string arrangements and a splattering of horns to the band's sonic palette.
It's a magnificent effort, featuring some of the finest songs that the ensemble has ever recorded. The title track is a bubbly blast of sunshine pop as Bob Dylan-style keyboards glide over a bed of jangly guitar, while Homeward Bound Angel follows a similar path, but plays more to its country roots before mutating into a rousing gospel-soul exaltation. ~ More at Music Box
