Customer Reviews:
Absolutely excellent.......2004-12-10
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.
Oh, Canaduh! What a land of plenty...!!.......2003-06-10
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!
