Blue Rodeo - Outskirts (1987)

Blue Rodeo is a Canadian country rock band formed in 1984 in Toronto, Ontario. Cuddy and Keelor met in high school and became friends. After university, when all their other friends were starting to get jobs, they decided to form a band and started to play music more often. They put together a several bands without commercial success. They released a single as Hi-Fi's in 1980.
They have been signed with Warner Music Group since their debut album, Outskirts, in March 1987.

Outskirts is the 1987 debut album by Blue Rodeo. The singles "Try" and "Rose-Coloured Glasses" were hits for the band in their native Canada, where "Outskirts" and "Rebel" also made the singles charts.
Outskirts is a highly likeable debut featuring mid-tempo country rockers fleshed out by tasteful use of organ in the arrangements -- a subtle touch that, along with the sheer quality of the material, distinguished Blue Rodeo from the hordes of other Gram Parsons devotees in the mid-'80s.
