OT: Oh Canada (yep another music thread)

[Bigboote]

That's Pat Metheny on guitar in this video, maybe Larry was playing on the other tour nights...? I don' t know...

Oops! my bad -- I was thinking of on the original album (Hejira). You't think I'd recognize Pat Metheny having seen him a couple of times.

Edit -- I have to correct myself again. I just looked at the liner notes, and Joni plays all the guitars on "Coyote" on Hejira. Larry only plays on about half the cuts.

It's been a nostalgic trip for me to wade through this thread! Loreena McKennit - major flashback to my dreamy preteen years. Metric & Grimes - my 20s and early 30s. Thank you all for your appreciation of my country's various music scenes.

It seems there are lots of folk lovers in here, and I don't think I've seen any Ian & Sylvia yet. Many of you probably know Four Strong Winds and Someday Soon, but this cover of theirs was always my particular favourite:

Have any French Canadian groups made an appearance yet? The Quebecois scene is pretty awesome. An older one:



& some newer-ish ones:

I Lost My Baby - Jean Leloup

Malajube - Montreal -40C

& has anyone posted the Arcade Fire yet? Here's a throwback to their first album - I remember going to the release show, which was in a Montreal church in, oh, 2003 or 2004 (I'm getting OLD!)...

Some country twang from north of the border. She was fairly big during the 90s when I was briefly paying attention to mainstream country music.

Joan Shelley. Singer/Songwriter from Montreal I believe. I saw her in Boston recently. Nice coffee house vibe.
