I have a new favourite book! It’s The Top 100 Canadian Albums. Sure there will never be a list better than mine or yours but this is a good starting point for anyone looking to increase the CanCon in their record collection. I chat with the author Bob Mersereau on my show today. Plus I play tracks from the #100 and #1 albums on the list along with music by locals and from further afield that are playing in town.
Here is the playlist:
Song/Artist/Album
The Canadian Dream/Sam Roberts/We Were Born In A Flame
Are You Ready For The Country/Neil Young/Harvest
Antenna/The Acorn/Glory Hope Mountain
Weighty Ghost/Wintersleep/Welcome to the Night Sky
Green Rocky Road/Johnny and the Moon/Johnny and the Moon
Cloudy People/Magic Weapon/Magic Weapon
Winged-Wicked Things/Sunset Rubdown/Random Spirit Lover
Penita En La Cara/Alex Cuba/Augua Del Pozo
