There’s something extremely enigmatic about Sing In My Meadow. It is the third volume in Cowboy Junkie’s Nomad Series and comes after the band has been together for 25 years. Surprisingly, the album doesn’t feel like recycled material, but instead sounds as if it would fit right in with their platinum records from early in their career.

But I don't mean to make it sound like grueling work. My biggest take-away from this exercise is that going to Dylan for source... read more

Found in: Concerts, News10 Best Canadian Musical Acts of All Time
I spent most of last week in Montreal, and I’ll soon be blogging about Schwartz’s, poutine, graffiti, an amazing beer bar and, most importantly, the M for Montreal festival. But before looking at the next great artists coming out of Canada, I’d like to give a run down of my Top 10 Canadian musical acts of all time (including bands made up primarily of Canadians). For a country of only 33 million people, our Northern neighbors have had an enormous impact on popular music. Even the list of great Canadian musicians who didn’t make my Top 10 (Barenaked Ladies, Feist,... read more
