REISSUE: Barenaked Ladies – Stunt (20th Anniversary Edition)

Twenty years ago, the Canadian pop-rock band Barenaked Ladies finally broke through in the United States with their smash, #1 hit, “One Week”, the lead single from their fourth album, Stunt.  With nonsensical, hip-hop inspired lyrics and a sly, satirical sense of humor, “One Week” along with the other standout singles, the dark yet party-starting anthem, “Alcohol”, the power-pop tune “It’s All Been Done” and the ballad-esque “Call And Answer” propelled the band into new heights; showcasing for American audiences what Canadian music fans had known for years. 

To celebrate the album’s 20^th anniversary, Rhino/Warner Bros. recently reissued Stunt in a deluxe edition featuring an expanded CD/DVD set and on vinyl for the first time in a long time, in a 2-LP set.

The expanded edition of the album includes two album outtakes, "She's On Time" and "Long Way Back Home," as well as the fan favorite, "Get In Line," which originally appeared on the King Of The Hill Soundtrack.  Additionally, the included DVD features their 1999 documentary titled, Barenaked In America, a film directed by actor and longtime BNL fan, Jason Preistly, that chronicled the band’s 1998-1999 American tour.  The film captures the band’s improvisational live show and showcases their humor in backstage footage.  It also features cameos from John Stewart, Conan O’Brien and Jeff Goldblum along with an oral history of the band.
