Jim Cuddy - The Light that Guides You Home
Cuddy forever sealed his place in the Canadian pop pantheon with his oh-so-sweet vocal on Blue Rodeo’s 1987 hit “Try.” That high, keening tenor serves as the mellifluous counterpart to Greg Keelor’s scruffier alto. Here, on Cuddy’s sophomore solo release, it’s heard on the choruses to the title track and “All I Need.” Elsewhere, Cuddy croons in mid-register on the piano ballad “Pull Me Through” and on the melancholic “What She Said.” And country vixen Kathleen Edwards chimes in on the honky-tonkin’ “Married.”
