Jim Cuddy has just released his 5th solo album, Countrywide Soul. The record was recorded in just 3 days in the barn at his farm in Southern Ontario. The record features re-recordings of songs he wrote for Blue Rodeo and The Jim Cuddy Band. Terry and Jim walk through a few of the songs on the record, and discuss collaborations with Doug Paisley, Kathleen Edwards, Oh Susanna, and more.
Hours after this show had been recorded and sent, I found out that my friend Tommy Banks had died.
Musician, mentor, humanitarian, Senator and one of the best people I had ever met, Tommy Banks is very much woven into the fabric that is Canada.
The kind of person who will always be remembered by anyone who met or even knew him.
He brought light to our lives and that light has dimmed but not gone out.
He’s left music and memories.
He should be honored at this year’s Junos in Vancouver and frankly, I would suggest a permanent award in his honor.
Whatever that park is named adjacent to CKUA Radio on Jasper Ave in Edmonton should be renamed, Tommy Banks Park.
Goodbye Tommy …

It feels like Jesse Roper is just beginning what could be a fabulous career in music. He’s just released this third album called Access to Infinity which is released Friday, Feb 2. He’s more than paid his dues. Playing stages big and small getting his name and his songs out there.
Jesse is a really good songwriter, vocalist, and performer but man can he play guitar.
We talk about his influences and I hear Jimi and Carlos Santana in his playing. Thankfully he agreed.
His third album is called Access to Infinity. I can’t wait to play certain tracks after “the embargo” is lifted.
Jesse’s touring with Big Wreck and the dates are below.
Jim Cuddy RAW interview Jim Cuddy Constellation RAW Jan 2018
Jim Cuddy, co-founder, and co-leader of Blue Rodeo has released his fourth solo album “Constellation” Friday under the name of The Jim Cuddy Band.
Jim and I work our way through several of the songs he wrote and he mentions there’s a balance in the album between loss and love.
It takes a true songwriter to find that balance. As Jim says “I wanted to waste not one word on this album.”
We talk about the koss of Gord Downey. The battle John Mann is waging. The title track called “Constellations” (with an s) is about yet another friend battling Cancer and what his loss meant.
Jim also lights right up when I mention his upcoming 33 date tour.
“33 doesn’t sound right. It should be 35”
He wants to create a tour like Motown used to do. Various artists all sharing microphones and supporting each other.
That would make Jim Marvin Gaye and Barney Bentall Tammi Terrell.
The full line up is The Jim Cuddy Band. Wicked Good.
Then Barney Bentall and his new album.
Jim’s sons Sam and Devin.
This is going to be a memorable tour. One musical generation handing the flame to the next!!
Tour dates below Jesse First and Jim Cuddy

On September 13, the Chefs’ Table Society of BC, in partnership with the Yaletown BIA and the Streetfood Vancouver Society host the inaugural event Chef Meets Truck in Yaletown at the intersection of Hamilton and Nelson. The event will run from 6:30pm-9:30pm and consists of Vancouver restaurant chefs hopping on board local Food Trucks to serve up the foodie event of the season. This collaborative event brings Vancouver’s hottest restaurant and food truck chefs together for the first time ever.
On Sept 13th, the Chefs’ Table society in partnership with Yaletown BIA and the Streetfood Vancouver Society hosted the first ever Chef Meets Truck in Yaletown.
The trucks tucked into a great small side street at Nelson and Hamilton.
It was a coming together of Vancouver’s top restaurant chefs and the best food truck chefs – for the first time ever.
This has the legs to become a great annual event.
As gear was being unloaded and set, up I cornered the first arrivals and got lucky..
Our guests include:
Scott Jaeger – The Pear Tree Restaurant and President of the Chefs Table Society. Working with Kevin Reimer Exec Chef Roaming Dragon.
(assisting was Gus Brandson – Culinary Mercenary and former sous chef at Pear Tree) www.peartreerestaurant.net / www.roamingdragon.com/
Erik Heck – Exec Chef at Wild Tale and The Flying Pig paired with Steve Kuan from Torafuku/Le Tigre www.wildtale.ca / http://torafuku.ca/
Phil Scarfone – Chef at Nightingale who teamed with Chef Dom Morra at Via Tevere Pizzaria https://hawknightingale.com/ viateverepizzeria.com
Chefs’ Table Society https://chefstablesociety.com
Let’s get truckin’
Three friends combine their talents to make a new wine label in Niagara – The Cuddy!!
I’ve long known that Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo & The Jim Cuddy band) will talk wine at the drop of a hat. He’s been a welcome guest on Tasting Room Radio many times.
He has a great cellar at home in Toronto and when he’s on the road, between shows he goes shopping for wines – especially in Alberta – and loads up the luggage space with selected releases and rare wines.
During the year you can find him playing one-off gigs at wineries all over the country.
Jim is the guy responsible for the amazing talent that graces the stages of The Canadian Culinary Championships. The Gold medal Plates.
He’s then invited to join the organizers for journeys to South Africa, Italy, France, Spain. So you can see he’s truly a “wine guy”
So given the opportunity to create wines with his name on the label who better to partner with than perennial Winery of the Year Winner Moray Tawse at Tawse, Niagara.
The third member of the winemaking/blending team was guitarist Colin Cripps (Blue Rodeo). The Crippler really knows his wines and especially his blends.
They gathered at Tawse and went over tasting notes on the Chardonnay and then had what Jim called “ a chemistry lesson” when blending the red.
They made a 1000 cases of each and they’ve been released to welcoming reviews.
moray-tawse
And how do we in the West get our hands on The Cuddy by Tawse? Moray explains in segment 3 of this week’s show.

Blue Rodeo with their newly announced holiday album A Merrie Christmas to You.
Although the album includes a couple of well-known Christmas tunes — “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” — the rest are a slightly more modern. There are covers of Joni Mitchell, Big Star, Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, the Band and more. There are also two Blue Rodeo originals: Jim Cuddy’s brand-new “Home to You This Christmas” and a re-recording of Greg Keelor’s “Glad to Be Alive.”
The album was recorded in a week at their very own Woodshed Studio in Toronto. Each song was captured live.
“The songs are as much about the season as they are about the actual day,” Cuddy said in a statement about the selection of material. “The criteria for choosing material were to find songs that we could actually sing and make our own.”
The cover art comes from an illustration by Keelor’s great-uncle, who made greeting cards back in the ’20s. The tracklist is below, and the name of the artist who wrote each song is in parentheses.
The RAW interview is posted here for your listening pleasure

Devin Cuddy
Clayoquot Wilderness Resort
Ed Robertson
Glamping
North of Tofino off the coast of Vancouver Island lies a sensational old growth destination.
Clayoquot Wilderness Resort.
At its basic it’s like camping in Central Park under high tents except the rooms and food and service comes from The Plaza Hotel.
Because the managing Director is John Caton and because he was the original manager of Blue Rodeo it’s not surprising to find Jim Cuddy, his son Devin and Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies all sharing the stage outside the main resort.
Wines supplied by Dave Mathews who’s on tour and unavailable.
I loved talking to both Cuddys together. It was great fun.
Ed Robertson BNL
Ed Robertson from BNL brought humour and insight to our talk.
Devin has a great second album Kitchen Knife ready for release.
Jim’s coming to Edmonton folk fest with Blue Rodeo.
They’ll play all of 5 days in July.
Hope u like it.
FYI.
The show features a Moby sandwich
