Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Swinging from the Chains of Love

Originally a tribute project to the late Willie P. Bennett, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings has evolved into Canada's most entertaining roots super group.'Swinging From The Chains Of Love' features a collection of tracks from the Blackie catalogue including favourites '49 Tons', 'Stoned', 'Heaven For A Lonely Man', the title track 'Swinging From The Chains Of Love', a previously unreleased track; 'Caves of Jericho' featuring the late Richard Bell and a rousing cover of Johnny Cash's 'Folsom Prison Blues' .After releasing the critically acclaimed High or Hurtin' in 1996, Tom Wilson, Colin Linden, and Stephen Fearing, fresh off successful solo projects, found themselves drawn in by the chemistry between them and started writing songs that could only be expressed through the Blackie & The Rodeo Kings medium. This translated into Juno nominations for BARK (2003) and Let's Frolic (2007), as well as a Juno Award for Best Roots & Traditional Album for Kings of Love (1999).
