16. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings - Blackie & The Rodeo King.mp3
From: High Or Hurtin’ – The Songs of Willie P. Bennett (1996, out of print)
Their name was taken from Bennett’s 1978 album Blackie and The Rodeo King as a tribute to one of their favourite Canadian folk artists. What started as a side project soon turned into a full fledged band after this first album. BARK is a must see live along with Tom Wilson’s other band, Lee Harvey Osmond.
