Blackie & the Rodeo Kings
Swinging From the Chains of Love (True North)
Less well-known here than they are at home in Canada, the trio of Colin Linden, Stephen Fearing, and Tom Wilson, each a successful solo artist on his own, offers a best-of with many tracks gaining their first exposure in the U.S. It's a stout overview of their rootsy folk and blues compiled from the five discs they've released since 1996. (Thursday, April 16, 7:30pm, Campground Stage; Friday, April 17, 7:15pm, Bluebonnet Stage.)
