Let's Frolic Again is part two of the Juno nominated and critically acclaimed CD Let's Frolic. It is the result of the sessions that happened at the legendary Bearsville Studio. BARK were only there to record one CD, but everything went so well they recorded 29 songs and is the reason we have Lets Frolic Again.  With long time collaborators Richard Bell, John Dymond and Gary Craig and guest appearances from Garth Hudson, Jimmy Welder, Malcolm Burn and John Wynot, Blackie has produced one of their most satisfying and inspired efforts to date.   The CD includes covers of Murray McLauchlan’s ‘Down by The Henry Moore’ and Teenage Head's `Something on My Mind’ and was produced once again by the wonderful Colin Linden.

Earlier this year the band went into the legendary Bearsville Studio with long time collaborators Richard Bell (keyboards), John Dymond (bass) and Gary Craig (drums) to record their fourth album. Added to the mix were guest appearances from Garth Hudson (the Band), Daniel Lanois, Pam Tillis, Malcolm Burn, Wayne Jackson and John Wynot. The sessions went so well, were so creative and fun that they ended up recording 29 songs, too much for just one CD. As a result, Let's Frolic will be followed-up with Let's Frolic Again, sometime in early 2007.

Let’s Frolic features stellar yet soulful playing, superb songwriting and heartfelt vocals. “House of Soul” is a Daniel Lanois penned song which he handed over to the band with one request, which was to make him cry. Reports are that he was brought to tears when he heard it. The band got an assist on the Hi Records inspired “I Give it Up Everyday” from the Memphis Horns’ Wayne Jackson. Pam Tillis’s angelic vocals perfectly compliment Stephen Fearing on “The Fools Who Can’t Forget”. Other standout tracks include “That’s What I Like”, “Lovin’ Cup”, “Let’s Frolic” and “Silver Dreams”. The wait is over. Blackie are back and it’s time for Canada to frolic!

BARK marks the highly anticipated return of the Juno Award winning supergroup, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings. Stephen Fearing, Colin Linden and Tom Wilson who together in late 1995 formed the band as a tribute to the much respected but little known Willie P. Bennett Their newest effort finds the band maturing musically. Whereas the previous two albums contained a large number of covers, BARK features 12 original songs. Arguably some of the best material that these three talented songwriters have ever put to disc can be found in such stellar tracks as "If I Catch You Crying," "Stoned," "Had Enough of You" and "Jackie Washington". Recorded in the winter of 2003, B&RK captures the feel and energy of the band and offers the listener a deep well of great songs that they can go back to again and again.
