It's fitting that Calgary's Reuben Bullock describes his state of mind, and musical perspective, as simply going where the river takes him. In a time when most folk/roots acts feel as natural as salmon fishing in the Yemen , Bullock lets go of any expectations and floats with the current. Bullock is a self-admitted work in progress, a man trying to build chemistry with his band and find his sound, but if Man Made Lake is any indication, he's well on his way. With the help of a full band that understands his [...]
Tomorrow sees the CD Release Show for hometown troubadour Reuben Bullock over at the Arrata Opera House here in Calgary. I believe there is still space but make sure you check into the Facebook event for more info. The new album "Man Made Lakes" from Bullock sees an album growth from the previous "Pulling Up Arrows" ( see our feature here ). The new album is 11 tracks and honestly shows a full range of performances from delicate introspective to [...]
Devil's Time - Trailer from Shot at The Dark on Vimeo . Reuben Bullock's album Pulling Up Arrows made it to my "Best Canadian Albums of 20103 list (see here ) and now we are seeing a video feature for one of the tracks from the album, that track is Devils Time . This is not just a "video" as much as it is a short film. The Devils Time feature is a combination effort that includes musicians/brothers and now actors, Reuben and Benjamin Bullock and was directed [...]
With the never-ending number of music blogs posting songs on the daily, I'm not sure if anyone cares "where" they first heard about an artist anymore. Hell, with aggregators and RSS feeds, I'm not sure most people even know, but it's still a source of pride for any blogger traveling off the beaten path. Up until a few days ago, I had never heard of Reuben Bullock - a Calgary based song writer whose songs bleed passion and honesty - and without the digging of Calgary based blog, Slowcoustic , I never would have. [...]
This is more or less a list of most played and/or my favourite albums from Canadian artists released in 2010 - I don't say "Best" and I don't pretend to have listened exclusively to Canadian content this past year. So let's not dig too deep into this post, it is simply a list of albums that really work(ed) for me, are better than most and are recorded by someone from the great white north. I am also not going into summary of the albums with each below as I am a niche genre music blogger, and lets be honest about [...]
*Above shot is from the upcoming video/short film from Brock Mitchell for (or based on the song) "Devil's Time" Reuben Bullock is one, if not best, of Calgary's best unknown "known" talent. While having a robust and dedicated following in the local scene here in Calgary, Bullock is definitely slated for bigger things. After sitting down with Reuben over a coffee you realize he is someone dedicated to his art. He is staunchly Canadian in spirit and is a patient and well thought out young musician. He is protective of the [...]
