Red dirt rockers Cody Canada and the Departed unleash today a new album titled "3," an appropriate title since its the Texas-based group first as a power trio led by Canada, who grew up of Yukon, came of age in Stillwater and has been a major force in popularizing red dirt music. It's hard to believe, but it's been a quarter century since Canada kicked off his career. A road warrior and prolific songwriter, Canada was the frontman of Cross Canadian Ragweed, a wildly influential band that dominated the red dirt scene for more than a decade and made music that reached far beyond the genre's borders, selling millions of albums and playing for huge audiences across the U.S. Canada formed the Departed in 2011.
