What ever happened to this band?
I was listening to an old Mix tape I made about 10 years ago, (because the radio stations around here suck) and Concrete Blonde came on, and I realized how good they were.
Bloodletting was an amazing album.

Go here and listen to Joey.
It seemed to get a lot of airplay.

Nevah listened to much of their material, but I really dig their cover of "Misty Mountain Hop." "Sky is a Poisonous Garden" rawks my face off.
The moon is full-the stars are bright
And the sky is a poisonous garden
Tonight.

I'm really impressed that you know that band. They were a local band out of Toronto in the 90's. I used to love them.

Cowboy Junkies? They went national in America. Best known for "Sweet Jane", i actually prefer their stuff on "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon" and "Lay It Down", plus the song "Misguided Angel"

If you like Joey at all.
You should listen to "The Vampire Song" on Bloodletting.

where it's warm and green.

Reading the reviews on Amazon really makes we want to get their newer albums. They all have garnered great reviews.

Oh yeah....I remember now. I knew I knew the name, I just couldn't associate a song. I didn't like that song much is probably why...

In some warped warped way, the little bit of that song Amazon plays for you makes me think of "Higher Ground" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I know, its a stretch....
