      Released in 2009 “The Truth about Us: A Twenty Year Retrospective” is worth any Canadians time. This album covers the various hits of the Skydiggers over their twenty year career. It was in 2009 that I was introduced to the “Diggers” by a band member Ron Macey, bassist at a friend’s back-yard BBQ in Toronto.  Shortly after our meeting I was given the new-release of this album and I must admit I was weary as good Canadian music can be hard to find.  Seeing as the band was twenty years in service and they were unknowns to me, I was worried what exactly I was in for and knowing that I might see Ron again I was hoping I was going to like the album.
