He really is a great lyricist

Music may be a little too sentimental for some, but he means it, and it comes through. Loved by other artists. Start with "Blue Boy" cd.

Not one posting about the "Hip"?

They are the biggest Canadian band...in Canada. Still struggling to get past a small college following in the US (Buffalo and border cities are exceptions), but these guys have many great cds all ready for you to discover. If you're looking for a cd to start with, "Road Apples" is fantastic. Btw, they are amazing live.

...which is very good song, but each of her cds have been strong. Some of her best tracks include "Silver Road", "New Enemy", "Don't Get Your Back Up" and from most recent cd, "I am Aglow". Another great Canadian folk artist.

John Doe

Definitely prefer his simple solo work to better known material with X. Great lyrics that I enjoy more as I listen more. Lots of good tracks on most recent effort (Forever Hasn't Happened Yet), including duet with Neko Case. Fav all-time John Doe track is "7 Holes".

You might remember her from "Twist in My Sobriety"
almost 6 years ago

...but she has done so much more. Mellow, often jazzy, with a unique voice that drwas you in. Her recent cd "Sentimental" was something of a comeback after some weaker efforts, but also try her first "Ancient Heart" and second "Sweet Keeper" to get into her.
