the sheepdogs

Spotify just recommended that I listed to "The Way It Is" by the Sheepdogs.  While Spotify's recommendations can be rather hit or miss, I typically spend a portion of every work day listening to bands I've never heard of, recommended to me by one algorithm or another. "The Way It Is" was encouraging enough, so I gave the rest of their catalog a listen.  I'm impressed.  I hadn't ever heard of the Sheepdogs before, but it sounds like they are a real up-and-coming band.  They hail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and in 2011, they won a contest to become the first unsigned band to grace the cover of Rolling Stone.  Anyway, they have a sort of 70s, bluesy, Southern, Canadian, groovy, rock thing going.  It's nice.  Here's a sample of their work:
