I’ve Been Everywhere by Hank Snow from the album I’ve Been Everywhere (1963)
Work caused some sporadic posting the last couple of weeks, but we are back with a week of Hank Snow’s hits to make up for it. Probably his best known song (though not his song). There is a reason so many versions of this song have been recorded.
The Prisoned Cowboy by Hank Snow from the single (1936)
Work caused some sporadic posting the last couple of weeks, but we are back with a week of Hank Snow’s hits to make up for it. The first of his songs to get released. This is probably my favourite tune of the 30s all told, nothing from the era stands the test of time better.
I’m Moving On by Hank Snow from the single (1950)
Work caused some sporadic posting the last couple of weeks, but we are back with a week of Hank Snow’s hits to make up for it. When it comes to great songwriters Snow’s name doesn’t come up often enough at all.
Terre Promise by Eric Lapointe from his album Obsession (1994)
This week we are going to feature some modern day chanteur’s. Starting with Lapointe’s big single.
I’d Do Anything by Simple Plan from their album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls (2002)
So after some technical difficulties (and my birthday night off) last week, we are back with some of my top Canadian picks from the CDs I have gotten on the cheap from the goodwill/randomly from little know record lables lately, didn’t really know this album sans the singles, some of the songwriting remains a bit childish, but they can write a damn catchy melody.
Distance by Melissa Bel from her album Brave (2009)
So after some technical difficulties (and my birthday night off) last week, we are back with some of my top Canadian picks from the CDs I have gotten on the cheap from the goodwill/randomly from little know record lables lately, this chick can sing, I hadn’t heard of her, but she has crazy pipes.
At My Funeral by Crash Test Dummies from their album The Ghosts That Haunt Me (1991)
So after some technical difficulties (and my birthday night off) last week, we are back with some of my top Canadian picks from the CDs I have gotten on the cheap from the goodwill/randomly from little know record lables lately, this album has surprisingly strong deep cuts.
