Diamond Mine

Music

I've always liked Blue Rodeo.  Perhaps it's because of their Toronto roots, perhaps it's memories of slow dancing to "Try" in primary school or perhaps it's because they're a great band.  I'm a fan.

My favourite Blue Rodeo song has always been and continues to be "Diamond Mine".  It's just a hauntingly beautiful track with a tinge of The Doors and a crossover rock appeal.  Sixteen years after I first heard it on Q107 it still creeps onto my MP3 mixes.  A couple of weeks ago, I actually heard this tune on CFNY Edge 102.  I don't remember ever hearing Blue Rodeo on Edge 102, so go figure.

If you don't know Blue Rodeo's "Diamond Mine", sit tight.  I'm going to share it in a bit.
