4.0 out of 5 stars
Oh, Canaduh! What a land of plenty...!!,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Rough Guide to the Music of Canada (Audio CD)
Sure, maybe Neil Young and Joni Mitchell aren't on here, but the host of other artists more than make up for it. Pop-folkie Bruce Cockburn and fiddler Natalie McMaster are probably the biggest name artists on this set, but the real gems come from other, lesser well-known musicians, ranging from the late trad folk legend Stan Rogers to numerous Francophone folkies, kookie Inuit throat singers, Native American (aka: "First Nation") songsmiths, and citified bluegrassers such as the Billy Hill Band. Canada's own status as a North American melting pot is confirmed in this far-reaching, eye-opening set. Plenty of surprises and delights. My personal favorite is Wendell Ferguson's acoustic rant, "Rocks And Trees," which demolishes the whole folkies-love-nature stereotype, in a good-natured, affectionate kinda way. Recommended!

Absolutely excellent,
This review is from: Rough Guide to the Music of Canada (Audio CD)
This album gives a picture of the cultural diversity Canada offers.
I liked it all: musique quebecoise, music from the First Nations, country-like sounds, Celtic rhythms...a delightful trip through a very varied world of harmony. |
