Folk Songs of Canada Now

21001_2PCDINSERT

Folk Songs of Canada Now is a compilation collected by Henry Adam Svec and performed by a wide range of Canadian Artists. Although this was released last Summer, I only came across it last week. The album is available for free download in it's entirety over on the Folk Songs of Canada Now Website.

I suggest you head over to the site and give the compilation a listen. The tracks that I enjoyed the most are:

How We Got Back to the Woods This Year – Andrew Vincent
and
What is the Life of a Man Any More Than the Leaves - Andrew Sisk

Andrew Bird - Eyeoneye (Video)

As I sit out on my deck enjoying the beautiful Southern Alberta weather I thought what music comes to mind and that happens to be the the duo of Best Coast . Their 2010 effort Crazy For You was a summer classic with track likes "Summer Mood" and "Boyfriend". And it just so happens that their new album The Only Place is due out on May 15th. But thanks to Fader you can stream the full album right now! Click here to do so.
