Blackie and the Rodeo Kings started in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1996, when three Canadian songwriters, Tom Wilson, Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden, joined forces. What came out was folk rock and alternative country with blues and country music running through its veins: rough-edged, road-worn and in no hurry to impress anybody.
Bark, released in 2003, catches them at their loosest and most comfortable, and "Had Enough of You Today" is a rueful, swaggering roots-rock song that shrugs off a bad day with a grin and a mean guitar lick. They have made their records for True North Records, and they sound like a band that plays for the joy of it.
