Canadian Country

just thaught I might drop a few Canadian names here ya might all wanna check out. Not a fan of the shite that gets played on most "country" stations or pushed by the "country music" industry, so if you share my sentiments you'll probably dig some of this stuff.

Niel Young
The Band
Blue Rodeo
The Sadies
Tim Hus
Madsen
Corb Lund
The Divorcees
Stompin Tom
Cuff the Duke
The Stables
Lee Mellor

A couple of names there you probably already know, a couple more if your canadadian, and a few obscurities (including a guy I went to highschool with) but it's all great stuff

enjoy

I like the way they both sing and bring different things to the music

For those who like old country music, Hank Snow is one of my favorites. Stompin Tom was a big fan of his.

I'm the same. Blue Rodeo has such a fantastic live vibe. Feels more hippie-ish kind of concert than a country concert.

There's lots of Canadian country.

 

Man this an old thread, but I just did a show of Quebecoise country music.

 

I thought I'd give this thread another bump, from another Quebecois performing an old Cajun song.
