Today I was listening to "Restless" by Skydiggers (1992)

#GreatAlbums1990s#Skydiggers - #Reckless (1992). This Toronto combo turned a country-rock fixation (especially Gram Parsons) into a series of low-key albums heard mostly across Canada during the 90s. Andy Maize’s dusty vocals and the band’s whirlpool harmonies recall the likes of CSN(Y), with a touch of college-rock quirkiness comparable to early REM. The starkly beautiful “A Penny More” and “Don’t Blame it On Me” are centrepieces of this enduring set.

My month of live music begins tonight with the first of two Rheostatics shows at the Horseshoe and ends four weeks from now with the Skydiggers Holiday show at the Danforth Music Hall.

Yes, I am crazy to spend two night's standing at the Horseshoe at my age.

To say nothing of the fact that the band doesn't even take the stage until 10:45pm!
