Hour One
1. Blackie & The Rodeo Kings: North
(Tom Wilson)
45 single bw South: FU:M Records FUM036
Nashville, Hamilton, Victoria
Colin Linden: acoustic guitar, dobro, vocals
Tom Wilson: acoustic guitar, lead vocal
Stephen Fearing: acoustic guitar, vocals
Johnny Dymond: bass
Gary Craig: drums
John Whynot: organ
Produced by Colin Linden 2013
Recorded by John Dymond and Colin Linden at Pinhead Recorders, Nashville TN
Mastered by Craig Calbi and Steve Falone at Sterling Sound, NYC
The band was formed in 1996, in Hamilton, Ontario. Colin Linden started Blackie and the Rodeo Kings as a tribute to one of their favorite Canadian folk artists, the singer-songwriter Willie P. Bennett. Their name was taken from Bennett's 1978 album Blackie and the Rodeo King. This is from a 45 single released in 2013; the flip side of the record is “South” which I’ll play in the next hour.
2. Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash: Girl From The North Country
(B Dylan)
Nashville Skyline: Columbia Records - KCS 9825
Woodstock, NY
Kenny Buttrey
Charles McCoy
Pete Drake
Norman Blake
Charlie Daniels
Bob Wilson
Produced by Bob Johnston, 1969
Recorded by Charlie Bragg & Neil Wilburn, Nashville TN
Robert Allen Zimmerman b. May 24, 1941 Duluth, Minnesota
The song was written following his first trip to England and finished in Italy in December, 1962, upon what he thought to be the completion of his second album. It is debated as to whom this song is a tribute. It was originally released on Dylan’s second album, The Freewheeling Bob Dylan and re-recorded with Johnny Cash in February, 1969. Over the decades it has been recorded by the likes of Pete Townsend, Altan, Joe Cocker, Tom Northcott, The Clancy Brothers, Rod Stewart, Neil Young, Black Crows – to name a few.
The impact of this song as a Dylan-Cash duet was really one of the first country-rock crossover songs at a time when ‘Nashville’ was openly hostile to bands like ‘The Byrds’ and ‘Flying Burrito Brothers’ where were embracing real country music as rock bands.
3. Thomas Dolby: Flying North
(Thomas Dolby)
45 single bw She Blinded Me With Science: Harvest Records B 5204
London UK
Thomas Dolby: Computer and Drum Programming, Lead Vocals

Kevin Armstrong: Electric Guitar
David Birch: Guitar
Lesley Fairbairn: bg vocal
Produced by Thomas Dolby, 1982
Mastered By Gene Thompson
Thomas Morgan Robertson b. London UK Oct 14, 1958
Since there was already a Thomas Robertson on the British music scene in the early 1970s, Robertson changed his last name to Dolby. He was always fiddling around with electronic devices so his friends nicknamed him Dolby. He fought with Dolby Laboratories, who developed the Dolby noise reductions systems, over the use of the Dolby name and won his case. He’s currently a Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins University.
4. Mac Beattie & Ottawa Valley Melodiers: Northern Ontario Blues
(Mac Beattie)
In Stereo – By Request: Banff Rodeo SBS 5312
Arnprior ON
Mac Beattie: vocal, drums
Gaetan Fairfield: guitar
Reg Hill: fiddle
Jimmy Mayhew: piano
Hubert Brisson: bass
Gordon Summers: electric guitar
Produced by George Taylor, 1969
Recorded by Gaetan Desbiens at Stereo Sound Studios, Montreal
Hockey mad Mac wrote this song as he travelled through Northern Ontario en route to Nanaimo BC, in 1939, where he joined the fledgling Nanaimo Clippers as their goal tender. I’m not too sure when he began playing it publically, but he didn’t actually record the song until 1969. It’s got great chords and captures the mood and feel of the northland and mentions my home town of Timmins.
5. Wiz Bryant: The Spirit Of The North
(Wiz Bryant)

Penticton BC
Wiz Bryant, vocals
Paul Novotny: bass
Frank Defelice: drums

Produced by Morley Halsmith 1986
Recorded by Carmon Barry and Bev Moorehead at Emmanuel Studios, Toronto
Album Design: Ian Bell
Wiz Bryant is an unabashedly Canadian troubadour who had an on-again; off-again relationship with Stompin’ Tom Connors. In fact, it was Tom who got Wiz and I together: “Hey Steve: would you consider having my good buddy Wiz Bryant on your show?” Although his songs are not ‘country’, they are Canadian enough for Tom’s blessings. He currently lives in Penticton BC and still engaging in schemes to promote what he considers to be Canadian stories in his songs.
6. (Stompin’) Tom Connors: Going Back North
(TC Connors)
The Northlands’ Own: Rebel Records CLPS 1067
Halton Hills, ON
Stompin’ Tom Connors: guitar, vocal
John Irvine: fucked up bass
Produced by John Irvine, 1967
The first had been issued as The “Northlands’ Own Tom Connors”, released before he adopted the Stompin’ moniker, on Rebel Records. The original producer, John Irvine, butchered it up by trying to add electric bass to the songs himself (although he didn’t know how to actually play the instrument!). When Tom regained the rights to the album, the original Rebel recording master conveniently “couldn’t be found” so Tom had to re-record two entire albums again for his new label, Dominion Records. (His second LP, “Tragedy Trail” had also been released by Irvine on Rebel Records as ‘Tom Connors On Tragedy Trail’ and suffered the same fate). And for the covers, they had to add ‘Stompin’ on the Dominion releases.
The Northland’s Own has since been reissued on Boot, A-C-T and Capitol Records but was mistakenly retitled ‘Northlands Zone’ when it was re-released, in 1973, on Tom’s own Boot Records label. Apparently, Tom wasn’t very pleased about the title being misspelled.

He began releasing records back in 1952 but it took him a few years of duds before hitting the charts with “It’s Springtime In Alaska”, followed by “The Battle of New Orleans” and “Sink The Bismarck”.
He made his final public appearance at the "Skyline Club" in Austin, Texas, on Friday night, November 4, 1960, the same venue where Hank Williams made his final public appearance in late December 1952.

uncredited but played by the Beatles: timpani, Mellotron
Produced by George Martin, 1968
Released Jan 13, 1969
Harrison wrote "Only a Northern Song" out of dissatisfaction with his status as a junior songwriter with the Beatles' publishing company, Northern Songs. The lyrics and music convey his disenchantment at how the company retained the copyright for the songs it published, and at how, following its big public listing, in 1965, the major shareholders of the company profited more from his songs than he did. The recording features a Hammond organ, played by Harrison, and an overdubbed montage of orchestral sounds, like trumpets, which were made on one of the first Mellotrons.
The title, "Only a Northern Song", related to The Beatles being from Liverpool, in the north of England.

Toronto
Jim Layeux: guitar, harmonica, vocal
David Woodhead: bass
Buddy Weston: banjo
Ron Sellwood: accordion
Norm Hacking: bg vocal
Produced by Tim Harrison, 1987
Recorded by George Axon with Jamie Sulek at Axon Music
If memory serves me well, he was originally from the Ottawa Valley, came to Toronto in the mid-80s and got involved with singer-songwriters like Norm Hacking and Tim Harrison. Harrison produced this album using some of the finest backup musicians on the burgeoning Toronto folk scene in 1987. The album was great but without proper management and a professional attitude to ‘making it’, Layeux rode a little crest of popularity in the Toronto folk world for a couple of years before petering out. What I liked about him was that he wrote about the world that he knew. Born in Renfrew County, Ontario he is able to paint a great picture of the region’s unique rural culture.
2. Shingoose: West Coast Fever
(Shingoose)
Ballad of Norval: CBC - LM 467
Roseau River Reserve MB
Produced 1979
Curtis Jonnie b Winnipeg 26 Oct 1946, Roseau River First Nation
An Ojibwa, Shingoose was raised on the Roseau River Reserve before being adopted by a Mennonite missionary family in Steinbach, Man. That was where he began singing, in church choirs. They moved to The States when 15 and toured as a member of the Nebraska-based Boystown Concert Choir. Later he played with a variety of rock bands based in Washington, DC, and New York City.
In 1973 he returned to Canada, residing and beginning his life’s work in Winnipeg. Moved by the confrontation that year at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, he became an activist on behalf of native peoples. Taking the name of his great grandfather, Shingoose, and singing in a country-folk style, he appeared at the Edmonton, Mariposa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg folk festivals, at the Big Valley Jamboree, as well as across Canada playing coffeehouses and university campuses.
He only released an album and a half on vinyl and a cassette.

Mastered by Jon Van Wingerden, Audio Valley Recording Studio
Robert David was a little known singer-songwriter outside of Montreal who put out a few cassettes and a CD of his eclectic songs. What I like about his recorded work is that it’s raw, emotional and far reaching and certainly not very commercial. East of the Sun is maybe an exception to that.
