Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald?

Seeing we are on the subject of "great Canadian stories" (so it seems), Id give a shout out to The Tragically Hips "Wheat Kings" about wrongly prisoned David Milgaard.

Also "38 Years old" about a justly prisoned Michael.

And "50 Mission Cap", and , well , "New Orleans is sinking" (more profetic telling as it was before Hurricane Katrina".

(Edit: can’t really say better than the Wreck of Edmond Fitzgerald thought, that's a perfect song).

Buffalo Soldiers by Barb Marley.

Good post. Gret Gordon Lightfoot song. He is a great song writer and storyteller. 

Harry Chapin was pretty good too. 

Sorry for the typo, great.

It's funny how a couple of people have written Harry Chaplin instead of Chapin.

As far as funny ones go, I would add Billy the Mountain by Zappa, and The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia by Vicki Lawrence.
