Jean Bardy-A Few Notes is a great cd. This is Jazz music and Bardy plays upright acoustic bass. The cd is made in Canada on Lost Charts Records.
Canadian Musicians
It recently occured to me that I like and listen to an awfully high percentage of Canadian music.
I am quite happy to make this confession because/although I am not Canadian.[Aussie]
Some of the Canadian artists I regularly listen to are-Bruce Cockburn,The Flying Bulgars,Holly Cole,Jane Siberry,Leonard Cohen,Mc Gariggle Sisters,Martha Wainwright,Rufus Wainwright,KD Lang,Neil Young,Blue Rodeo,Joni Mitchell,Ron Sexsmith,Harry Manx,Sarah McLachlan and Diana Krall.
I was hoping to expand this list and would be grateful for any other suggestions of good Canadian music in a similar vain[please no Rush suggestions].I'm sure that like many great Australian musos some great Canadians get little recognition outside of their own country.
If it is well recorded too that would be a real bonus.
A brief description of what type of music any suggestions typify would also help.

Duane Andrews - a Jazz guitarist http://www.duaneandrews.ca/ |
Here's a few that any REAL Canadians would mention: -Spirit of the West - You may recall the "Faithlift" album with the great track And if Venice is Sinking -Stephen Fearing, folk/rock, who keeps getting better and better. Some samples at: www.stephenfearing.com -Blue Rodeo who can have a certain similarity to Cowboy Junkies (minus the sexy female) at times but can also really rock. Samples at: www.bluerodeo.com -Tragically Hip (who was touched upon above). -"54-40" from Vancouver and have moments of rock brilliance -Last but definitely definitely definitely not least - the awesome Rheostatics. Check out this live video for proof of their awesomeness: http://www.rheostatics.ca/media/shavedhead.wmv |
