Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Let’s Frolic
BARK is to roots music what the New Pornographers are to power pop: a superb Canadian indie supergroup. Stephen Fearing, Colin Linden and Tom Wilson clearly have way too much fun singing together, as evidenced by bluesy original “Life is Golden,” new country nugget “Crown of Thorns” and joyful pub rocker “That’s What I Like,” to do just the solo thing. Despite a guest appearance by country star Pam Tillis, the album highlight is the group’s moving treatment of Daniel Lanois’ exquisite “House of Soul.”
