Shuffle Aces: The Sheepdogs – The Way It Is
The Sheepdogs are a Canadian band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, consisting of Ewan Currie on vocals and guitar, Leot Hanson on guitar, Ryan Gullen on bass and Sam Corbett on drums/percussion. They play a mix of American trad rock, country rock, southern boogie and barroom blues. They look the part – almost like a Monty Python lumberjack sketch – and obviously have a good sense of humour as this clip suggests!
On April 1, 2012, The Sheepdogs won three Juno Awards, Rock Album of the Year, Best New Group and Single of the Year for I Don’t Know (below).

Oh, and because I can’t help myself, here is the full Spelling Bee episode of Cheap Seats mentioned earlier. It’s long…but it’s really good!
Shuffle Aces is a series of posts that highlights a song of the week that “shuffling” has brought forth. With all the streaming services it’s not just an iPod on shuffle mode that we use to discover new stuff, but the principle remains the same: hit play and wait to see what gems come forth.
