This is the opening track from Bruce’s first solo album, ‘Bruce Cockburn’, which was released in 1970. It was also the first album ever released on the ‘True North’ label. My wife has a particular fondness for this song, which I think expresses a philosophy of life she’s quite enamored with!
Some great Canadian bluegrass music from the Slocan Ramblers! The Canada Day music fun continues!
Speaking of Matthew Byrne, here he is with his band, the Dardanelles, singing ‘Eastern Light’. The Canada Day fun continues!
Matthew Byrne is the finest interpreter of traditional folk songs in Canada today. Here’s a good example of his playing and singing, Canada Day folk music continues!
One of Canada’s finest singer-songwriters doing what he does best. This is an older video of James singing his song about the Nisei, who were interned during World War Two. I have yet to hear this song without choking up.
James Keelaghan’s website is here.
The Canada Day music fest continues!
The Canada Day song gala continues. Newfoundland has some of the best Caandian folk songs, and here’s one sung a capella by the inimitable Great Big Sea.
Another Canadian classic by the great Wade Hemsworth.
