Stereo Rodeo is a studio album by the American band Rusted Root, released 2009.[1][2] The first single was "Bad Son", which criticizes George W. Bush.[3][4] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[5]
Some of the album's tracks originated as Michael Glabicki solo songs; Glabicki produced the album.[6][7] The cover of "Suspicious Minds" incorporated Latin percussion to help reproduce the original's guitar licks.[8]
Critical reception[edit]
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review deemed Stereo Rodeo "arguably the most diverse album in Rusted Root's 20-year career."[9] Paraphrasing Hunter S. Thompson, The Charleston Gazette called the album "a record made by people who can't write or sing for people who don't know the difference."[10] The Washington Post noted "the polyrhythmic joys of a band that celebrates the creative diversity of its members and the global vibes around them."[11]
The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the album 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine, noting that this release combines the pop music elements of Welcome to My Party with the band's more traditional worldbeat influences, characterizing this album as "a way to get the band back to their roots without drawing attention to any machinations that get them there."[12]
