This Is Not For You...

Cody Canada was the Lead Singer and Guitarist

For Cross Canadian Ragweed...

After They Dis-Banded, He and Jeremy Plato

Started Cody Canada and the Departed...

And Moved On With New Music...

'Course, Many Folks Wanted Them to Play CCRW Songs...

(IF You D/L It You'll Hear Him Explain in the Intro...)

Here's a Couple...

And, Two Covers as well...

The Crazy Eddie Song is a Reckless Kelly Song...

And Not For You is a Pearl Jam Cover...

(Which Is On The Bootleg smoker Posted...)

Recorded Somewhere, Sometime in 2022...

LIVE In The Studio...

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

There's a Warnin' Sign on the Road Ahead...

Here's Some More Cross Canadian Ragweed...

It's Another Soundboard Recording...

From 2008 as well...

At the Braun Brothers Reunion Festival...

Up There in Idaho...

Which Is Known for its Potatoes...

I Believe I'm Postin' Most of These to

Amuse Myself, Which is Fine...

**********************************

So, IF You're Near Boise, Idaho Sometime...

You Can Stay at The Big Idaho Potato Hotel...

For 'Bout $200 USD, That Is...

******************************************

Anyway, CCRW Play a Good Setlist of Songs...

Although It's Not Listed on the Back,

They Play a Cover of Shaver's

The Hottest Thing In Town...

At The End of Wanna Rock & Roll...

Shaver was Billy Joe Shaver and His Son,

Eddy Shaver, Who Also Released

a Solo Album and was a Member of

Thunderhawks...

(Which Is On Here, Somewhere...)

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

If It Don't Matter...

 

Y'All Know How Much I Like Cross Canadian Ragweed...

THIS Is ONE Of My FAVs of Theirs!

They Start With The Rocker: Don't Need You and

Close With Neil Young's Rockin' In The Free World...

In-Between Are Rockers

AND

A Great Story Song: Brooklyn Kid (Rarely Played...)...

AND

ONE Country Song: Leaving Tennessee...

A Song NOT on ANY of Their Albums

OR

Hardly EVER Played AT ALL!

Cody Canada Insists They Are NOT a Country Music Band...

So, He Says, "We're a           Music Band!"

I've Heard TWO Stories 'Bout This Song...

1) A Couple Years Ago, Cody Said It Was

'Bout a Bad Argument Between The Wife & He

While in Nashville...

2) On THIS Recording, He Says, "They (Record Co.)

Asked Us To Write a Country Song. So, We Did!"

Now, BOTH Could Be True at The Same Time...

The Reason It's NOT On Their Albums Or

Was a Single Is 'Cause of the F-Word...

(See IF You Can Count How Many Times He Sings It!?!)

Anyway, It's Another Great Soundin' Soundboard...

(One Of Those Wrist-Band USB Thingys...)

IF You Like Some Red Dirt Rock & Roll Music

AND

Can Tolerate ONE F*#^in' Country Song...

Get THIS!

CCRW-Athens08-CD2

How It Ever Got To Go This Far, I Guess I'll Never Understand...

 

This Cross Canadian Ragweed Bootleg is

Very Special, To Me, Anyway...

It's Mostly CCRW Playin' at

Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic 2005...

They Play Several Songs from Their

Excellent Soul Gravy Album...

**************************

And for Those of You That Like CCRW...

Cody Canada and The Departed Have

Re-Recorded The Album Soul Gravy...

There's a Review HERE.

OR

You Can Visit The Band's Website.

It's Available On Vinyl and Digital D/L. 

****************************

As Well As Fan Favorites...

Cody Canada Has Some Great Lyrics for

Willie to Start Boys From Oklahoma...

Not a Bad Song In Sight...

But, Don't Let The Bad Artwork STOP

You From Gettin' This One...

(I Was Just Learnin' Back Then...)

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Not Much Goes On In This Town...

 

I Like Cross Canadian Ragweed!

And, There's a Few of YOU as well...

Another of Those USB Soundboards...

Live in Charlotte, North Carolina...

Some Familiar Songs and Some

Lesser Known and Played Ones as well...

It's Red Dirt Music At Its BEST!

CCRW-CharlotteNC10-CD1

CCRW-CharlotteNC10-CD2

'Cause I Bend and Bend Until I Break, Then I Bend Some More...

 

Here's Another Cross Canadian Ragweed Show...

(From Here On, Abbreviated as CCRW...)

It's a 2 CD Set with a Wide Range of Songs...

CCRW was Influenced by a Wide Range of Music:

From Willie to Skynyrd to STP, Etc...

As Cody Says on this Recording:

1. They Are NOT From Canada...

2. They Are NOT Country Music...

This Is One of Those USB Wristband Shows

From Back Then, Which He Says

They Did For 2 Reasons:

1. 'Cause You The Fans Like It!

2. 'Cause It Pisses Off The Record Company!

They Play a Ton of Originals and A

Couple Neil Young Tunes as well...

There's Boys From Oklahoma, But No

Carney Man, 'Cause They Rarely

Played Both in One Show...

CCRW-HotSpringsArkansas08-CD1

CCRW-HotSpringsArkansas08-CD2

Try To Keep It Down, I Was Up Kinda Late Last Night...

 

Here's Cross Canadian Ragweed...

A Band That Was Hard to Label...

So, That Obviously Frustrated Lots of

Folks At The Record Companies and in

The Band!

The Record Folks Wanted More Country and

The Band Wanted to Play What They Wanted!

They Were a Rock Band With Country Influences...

This Is a Pretty Good Soundboard Recording!

There's Really Great Songs Here to Be Heard!

It's Odd They Start with Carney Man!?!

It's a Fan Favorite Like Boys From Oklahoma,

Which Is Here as well...

Dimebag Is a Rocker Written in Tribute to

Dimebag Darrell...

And Just for FUN, They Play

Reckless Kelly's Song,

Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah!

Overall, 

An Excellent Concert of Red Dirt Music!

CCRW-Blue Note09-CD1

CCRW-Blue Note09-CD2

Boys From Oklahoma...

 

Here's a Band I've Been Re-Discoverin' All Over Again!

I Followed Them From 2000 

All the Way to The End in 2010...

Bought All Their CDs and Have Many Bootleg Concerts...

Their Record Label: Universal South 

So Wanted to Be Country, 

But They Weren't...

Although Some Songs are Country Flavored...

At Their Core CCRW Were a Rock Band...

So, Not Many Folks Knew What to Make or Do

With Them, 'Cept for Their Fans, Like Me!

I Mean You Couldn't Play The Song Dimebag

on Country Radio!

Or, Wanna Rock & Roll on Rock Radio,

'Cause They're a Country Band, Right?

CCRW's Influences were Very Broad:

Willie & Merle, Skynyrd and Southern Rock,

and Pearl Jam and Grunge...

So, If'n You Wanna Give 'Em a Try,

This Is a Pretty Good Concert,

With a Wide Range of Music!

Everything From Acoustic Numbers 

to Hard Rockin' Ones from Great Originals

And Some Covers as well...

Also, It's a Rarity CCRW Play BOTH

Carney Man & Boys From Oklahoma!

Enjoy and Play It LOUD!
