Pol, over at his blog, "What's the Connection?" mentioned my posts regarding Canadian music (check out his Kim Mitchell/Max Webster mix here - "Webster Pick" ), and wouldn't you just know it, I had to once again dig out some great classic Canadian tracks. Many rare outside the border. Check out Gino Vannelli's "Jack Miraculous." This was before you've heard the bg music to Mario Kart/Mario Party, and elevator music on speed. Yeah, you gotta check it out.
Valdy's "Peter & Lou" - a big favorite. Steel River's "Ten Pound Note" sounds like The Band, or so I thought many years back. The same deal with Ginette Reno's "Beautiful Second Hand Man" - I thought either Marilyn McCoo or Petula Clark.
Toby Swann's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - you guessed it, a rockin'/punkified version of the well endeared Wizard of Oz tune. Murray McLauchlan's "The Farmer's Song" - I still listen to it from time to time, for that lump in throat feeling. 18 tracks, all 70s sans a couple of early 80s. Mostly pop rock. Enjoy!
