I'd recommend David Francey's song "Banks of the Seaway". A Scots-born Canadian, he sings about rural life in a lovely brogue. This song, he sings a cappella:
BANKS OF THE SEAWAY A love song to Beth.
I took my love down to Summerstown On the banks of the Seaway Where the big ships go by On the banks of the St. Lawrence River we lie On the banks of that river so wide
And when we hear the winter turn In the sound of the blackbirds cry I'll take my love down to Summerstown…
And when we see the springtime turn To a cloud in the summer sky I'll take my love down to Summerstown…
And when we feel the summer turn On the wind that the leaves will fly I'll take my love down to Summerstown…
And when we hear the autumn turn In the northern wind's cold cry I'll take my love down to Summerstown…
Check out his website. Even the label he's with is called "Laker Music":
