Editorial Reviews

Canadian identity was once truly a mosaic—of disparate regions and small communities widely dispersed over a vast and inhospitable landscape. Classic Canadian Songs from Smithsonian Folkways showcases the rich musical traditions from generations of European settlers and contrasts with that of Aboriginal peoples fiercely determined to preserve their ways of life in the wake of colonialism and its injustices. 30 classic tracks, over an hour of music. 32-page booklet with extensive liner notes and photos.

As an old folkie, I love this CD. It's *real* old stuff, most of which I hadn't heard before.

This review is from: Classic Canadian Songs From Smithsonian Folkways (Audio CD)
The quality of the CD is fine, but the music was not what I had expected. A little too country for me.
