Outskirts is the debut studio album by Canadian country rock group Blue Rodeo, released in March 1987 through Risqué Disque.

[2] On the thirtieth anniversary of the album's release, Jim Cuddy posted the following message on the band's website: "The first night we started to make Outskirts was also the night my wife Rena went into labour with our first child Devin.

We sold 5000 records which we thought was amazing but were told we would be dropped if nothing else happened.

So much has happened since then but I still hold onto the feelings from those early days of tearing it up in a club with nothing to lose.
