Release Notes:

Launched by roots-rock players Colin Linden, Tom
Wilson and Stephen Fearing as an informal tribute
to songwriter Willie P. Bennett, Blackie & the
Rodeo Kings used 1999's double disc, Kings of Love,
as a way of spreading the love to other songwriters
as well as advancing some originals. That all three
sing and play guitar makes for some exciting
moments on tunes by Murray McLauchlan, Bruce
Cockburn, Jules Shear, John Martyn, Fred
Eaglesmith, and the aforementioned Bennett. Songs
can be as gritty as a dirt road (Eaglesmith's "49
Tons") or as gentle as a leaf blowing in the wind
(Linden's "Queen with a Broken Crown," Bennett's
wonderful "If You Have to Choose"). A rousing Mark
Johnson call-and-response number, "King of Love,"
gives the CD its title, and while the album is
perhaps unnecessarily long, the players' good
spirits are infectious. --Shawn Conner
