Outskirts (1987) was the highly succesful debut album by Canadian country/roots rockers Blue Rodeo. The album climbed to #20 on Canada's album charts and achieved 4x platinum sales. Aside from the band's breakout hit "Try", Outskirts also featured the single "Rose-Coloured Glasses". That single charted at #40 in Canada.
The Intro of the latter is tabbed here. That Intro is pretty short, so I decided to include chord changes for the Verses and Chorus, too. Once I had done that, I figured I might as well add in the changes for the Break and the Bridge as well, so that all the pieces are there to play the complete song.

The Runaways are certainly topical these days, what with the feature film about their career that's currently in theatres. The film originally had a working title of Neon Angels: The Runaways. I guess that was abandoned somewhere along the line, since the final title seems to be simply The Runaways. That working title came from the fact that the movie is based on lead singer Cherie Currie's 1989 autobiography Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story.
The Helix track "Breakdown" comes from the band's seventh studio album, Back For Another Taste (1990). They toured extensively behind the album, playing showcase bars. At one point during this touring, while in England, the band were called home to Canada to tour, in order to build on momentum started when the song "Good To the Last Drop" took off as a single there. Ultimately, the album peaked at #82 in Canada and #179 in the US.
Today's posting features some early 1970's pop psychedelia from the dark side. "Where Evil Grows" comes from The Poppy Family's second (and final) album, Poppy Seeds (1971). The album was the follow-up to their highly successful debut album, Which Way You Goin' Billy? (1969), with its #1 charting title song.
Monolith was the seventh album for prog rockers Kansas. The album, released in 1979, didn't have the success of the band's previous two albums, nor did it produce a hit to rival the popularity of "Carry On Wayward Son" or "Dust In the Wind", but in my opinion the album is among their best. It stands up well right alongside Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return. I also always liked the concept artwork for the album, finding the picture on the inside of the gatefold cover to be particularly effective. (
Time for more repair work. A while back I did a post about revisions I had done to the tab of "Hollywood". That was just a bit of tinkering to make the main riff play better. This time it's the tab of "Your Daddy Don't Know", and it's a much bigger overhaul. Almost every staff in the tab has been altered.
