As people may have noticed, I am an unabashed supporter of Canada and Canada’s music scene. I have begun this series to highlight Canadian music history and will do this 5 songs at a time. I hope you enjoy the music and find some new favourites and rediscover some old ones. I encourage you to click on the links and learn about the bands, and listen to more of their material.
Interesting collection this week, from country to alternative to a scintillating live rock performance.

2. Shania Twain
“Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under”
“Never Too Late”
4. Simple Plan

1 – video link won’t play in the US.
2 – Shania has put out consistently good, fun music over the years.

4 – The Simple Plan is a good toe tapping track, despite the message in the lyrics. Great example of what pop can be
5 – And now I’m a Death From Above fan.
And as always, thanks for turning me on to some new music!
Fortunately, youtube had a non-video copy of Somewhere out there. Good track!
Hate it when they block them. Glad you found a copy.
Shania I think was my first Big introduction to the power of Canada! [First was Celine.] She has so many hits under her belt. She makes country music fun (more like country pop) and I like almost every single track on Up!
By the way, I have a habit to check several posts at a time for all my sites instead of more timely visits. Also, just followed you on Twitter — I’m not too punctual even there.
I’m not usually a country fan but she is a Canuck which fits the theme of the posts. And the album has memories from living in small town Saskatchewan and doing the social events They always had a heavy dose of country pop music.
