Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor have been Blue Rodeo songwriters for more than 40 years .

Cuddy 's sixth solo album is Everyday Angels , the ninth song on his sixth solo record.

It is the first time one of the two songwriters has performed on the other’s.

The songs maintain Cuddy ’s trademark strong melodies, powerful singing and mastery of roots music.

The opening track, Learn to Live Alone , is a soaring mid-tempo ballad about Cuddy 's relationship with his wife, Rena Polley .

The melancholy You Belong was inspired by Cuddy running into an old flame and she “blanked on his name”.
