Inuk throat singing anyone? Hard to get more Canadian than that, and it’s very much worth a listen if you haven’t. IIRC correctly, this won the Polaris Prize Award when it was released for the best Canadian album of the year.
EDIT: This album will utterly confound any expectations you have prior to listening.
Here’s a brand new release from a new all-star jazz group organized by Canadian pianist Renee Rosnes. The group also includes Canadian trumpeter Ingrid Jensen. (Ingrid Jensen’s sister, Christine Jensen, is a pretty fair saxophonist who also is worth checking out, although she isn’t on this recording.)
Throwback Tuesday!

Anne Murray
K.D. Lang
Oscar Peterson
Diana Krall
Rush
The real question is when am I NOT listening to Canadian music?

What a great choice. Carole Pope is Canada’s answer to the eternal question: What would an Iggy Pop and Grace Slick love child be like?
In the second half of the '70s there were a lot of great hard rock bands in Canda. And I don’t mean just the obvious bands.
You are so correct…
My favourite Triumph album.
Back in 1977 I read a review of this album in Dutch magazine Muziekkrant Oor. I decided to buy the album. And right there and then started my life long love for everything Max Webster.
I hope that everybody’s working for the weekend…
Chris - When things get back to normal, here is someone you may want to check out for the LRB. I’ve seen her live a couple of times and she is great.
PS No relation to Gordon, apparently.
Ooooo thanks for the tip there
