This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Something old and something new from Toronto roots-popsters Skydiggers.
Most of these 15 tunes were recorded just before their second album, 1992’s Restless. But since that’s been out of print for years, the boys decided to release these remixed tracks. Fans will be glad they did: These unvarnished songs — the smouldering Slow Burnin’ Fire, the jangly rock of Accusations, the tongue-and-groove harmonies of Don’t Blame It On Me — are imbued with a rough-hewn intimacy and melancholy that never goes out of style. Perhaps Timeless would be a better title.
NOTE: I couldn’t find this album online, so here’s the regular old Restless.
