Blue Rodeo - 1999 - Just Like A Vacation 2CD's




Just Like a Vacation is a somewhat disappointing affair. Blue Rodeo have built their career on their live performances, and some fans might say that their albums (or CDs) have not done them justice. This live collection does not provide the evidence for such reputation. Recorded during their last Canadian tour, this CD (their first "live" release) is more or less a best-of compilation with extended solos and applause. The extended solos are quite long and drawn out, and songs that are brilliant in their original form sound boring here. Blue Rodeo might have been better served by either releasing a studio compilation CD or diving into their archive and releasing older live material which had more energy. Also, this is a two-CD set, which is far too long -- a single CD of highlights might have been a better idea. Having said all that, there is some great music on this CD, as Blue Rodeo have written some incredible songs. They have always managed to blend country with rock to come up with their own unique sound. Just Like a Vacation, however, is not the best representation of their music. Fans will no doubt enjoy this, but others would be better served turning to their older, studio releases.
