Subject: RE: Songs That Mention Canadian Places
I am sorry Azizi, of course I should heve given artists names..so here thet are..You're so vain -Carly Simon, Cidadel Hill, of this I am not sure but I have heard many people do it. Cape Breton Lullaby-Catherine MacKinnon, Farewell to Nova Scotia, lots of versions of this but Catherine Ms, version is the best known.She's called Nova Scotia-Rita MacNiel, The Following by Stan Rodgers-Barretts Privateers, Forgartys Cove, Bluenose In The Sun, Rawdon Hills.Gillis Mountain, The Rankins, Ballad of Springhill-ewan mccoll. Orangedale Whistle is also by the Rankins, Caledonia is from a song sung by Ambie Thomas but is best known in the version by Norma Waterson. These all have to do with places in the Prov. of Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada.
Red Brother, Red Sister is by Bruce Cockburn, Four Stong Winds and Brave Wolf are sung by Ian and Sylvia. Woman of Labrador has been covered many times but I am most familiar with the version by Pamela Morgan.Bud The Spud and Sudbury Saturday Night are both by Tom Connors.Escarpment Blues is by Sarah Harner, Song for Sharon is by Joni Mitchell.
