Talent Tuesday – Canadian Releases – February 21, 2012

English: Joel Plaskett performing at the 2007 ...

The week was slow, so slow that I cannot post a new album.  Instead. I will update Joel Plaskett‘s project for the CBC.  The challenge given him was to write and record an album from scratch, in 10 weeks.  He would write and record 1 song a week until he was done.  This is song 6, song 7 was released today.  The album is called “Scrappy Happiness”.

“Somewhere Else”

Joel is one of those players whose work is under rated by many people.   You could do worse than check out more of his work.

Talent Tuesday – Canadian Releases – February 14, 2012

A slow week for releases here in the Great White North (snowed here today).

The band playing in downtown St John's
Hey Rosetta!

The first band we will take a look at is “Hey Rosetta!“, who released an EP today titled “Sing Sing Sessions”.  This is a set from this group of very talented musicians from Newfoundland.  Just a bunch of Canadians doing what they like to do, play.  The EP is a selection of the bands past songs done  acoustically.  I think you will agree, good stuff.

Welcome

The second artist (and final) for the week is Toronto singer/song-writer Emma-Lee.  This is her 2nd album release and is titled “Unsung Heroine”.  Listening to the featured song, I am taken by the strength in the structure of the song.  She has a great voice, and, if she keeps writing material as strong as this, she could easily become a force on the Canadian music scene.

Not Coming By

My International pick of the week is Paul McCartney and his new  album “Kisses On The Bottom”.  It is Valentines Day so enjoy Sir Paul’s song from the album “My Valentine”.

My Valentine
