Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the dual songwriting forces of Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, this debut immediately established the band as leaders of the Canadian roots rock movement. 'Outskirts' merges traditional honky-tonk sensibilities with a sharp, alternative rock edge. Spurred by the massive domestic success of the single 'Try', the album launched a multi-decade, critically acclaimed career.
