The late Canadian singer/songwriter showcased with his wonderful maritime folk songs. Story songs of hardworking men and women and a dying way of life. Described as “the Canadian Woody Guthrie.” With acoustic folk instruments. A Cape Breton type sound. Great stuff. He died in 1983 in an airplane fire. *1. Upbeat toe-tapper with great strings. Bright & catchy. 2. Rich vocals in the downtempo ode to a dying life. 3. Warm and lovely downtempo song w/sweet strings. Sad. 4. Lazy sweet folk waltz w/a nostalgic air. *5. Recorded live, a capella track for solo voice & chorus. Mid. 6. Upbeat maritime reel w/a warm and catchy sound. 7. Slow and sad song of the fishing industry. *8. Slow and sad, heartbreaking ode to old men & old ships. 9. Relaxed and sweet country folk love song. *10. Gorgeous a capella track. When Canadians were asked by the CBC to vote for an alternate national anthem, this won hands-down. Slow. 11. Downtempo song of a lock-keeper and his duties. *12. Midtempo, solid toe-tapper song w/some great string accents. 13. Slow and sad tale of a lost ship and a broken man. 14. Nostalgic strings anchor this country folk tale of farming. 15. Warm vocals, sweet strings, a slow and reflective story. *16. Upbeat strings, story of a sinking ship. | ||
