I'm ALREADY a fan of Canadian talent, having been anointed a drooling RUSH fanboi from teenage-hood...
But I was a GLightfoot fan before I ever even heard of RUSH. He was a lovely person, a vastly underrated talent, and his music was in a class by itself.
I also -eventually - came to appreciate him as an absolute STUD 12-string player.
Even being the biggest music-fanboi around...it astonishes me that there's lines/riffs/arrangements/etc in his songs that absolutely makes the hair on my arms stand up - after listening to them non-stop for going on FIFTY YEARS.
And - NO surprise - talking music doesn't get much better than Rick Beato - IMHO, the single best thing y/tube has to offer, especially since they decided to become a low-rent trailer-trash version of tiktok, in an effort to remain "competitive".
Unlike the vast wasteland of content-hawrs, the only thing that matters to me IS in fact content - quality content. Like Rick Beato. Like Lexington Lab Band.
Just the WORDS "Mr. Beast" make me throw up in my mouth a little...

I've been listening to him since I was a kid - and he was half the age I am now!
I strongly recommend exploring his body of work. He is VASTLY underrated - possibly among the best Canadian artists ever. He's written lines of lyrics that are beyond poetic, and his guitar playing was sublime. And that voice...

I might. I can't say that I'm a Folk fan because I lean towards music with faster tempo. I have Cat Stevens Catch A Bull at Four CD and have been into that album since I was a kid thanks to my parents. He does have a few faster paced songs on that one. Great album.
I recently bought a best of Joni Mitchell cd that I just can't get into. One of my brother's is into a lot of Americana and he has exposed me to a good bit of it. Another genre that I can't seem to get interested in. Maybe Folk and Americana is for deeper thinkers than myself?
