Learn & Burn by The Sheepdogs

Learn & Burn, the third album from Saskatoon's the Sheepdogs, first surfaced in 2010 and got a second life with a re-release on May 22, 2011. It's a warm, unhurried slab of guitar-driven blues-rock from a band that wears its record collection proudly: frontman and chief songwriter Ewan Currie has named Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Allman Brothers Band, the Beatles and Stevie Wonder among their influences, and you can hear all of them in the harmonies and the loose, boogying rhythms.

"I Don't Know" is the one that broke through, a strutting, riff-heavy shuffle with a big-hearted chorus, and it won the Juno for Single of the Year. The album itself took Rock Album of the Year at the 2012 Junos and went platinum in Canada in February 2013.
