Red Yellow & Blue - Born Ruffians

Red Yellow & Blue - Born Ruffians

An amazing debut album from a trio of talented young men from Toronto, this album is filled with energy and fun. Lots of references have been made to Paul Simon's "Graceland" album, and I would agree with a caveat that Born Ruffians are hardly mere imitations, but new interpretations of the same earnestness Simon had on his iconic album. Born Ruffians are amazing live, but if you don't get a chance to see them, pick up the album or borrow it from someone. As I told a friend of mine, it's as if the Lost Boys from Peter Pan's Neverland picked up some instruments and started a band. You won't be disappointed, unless you're some moody-ass bastard who doesn't know how to have any sort of fun.
