Canadian Folk

Winter in the UK has to be the worst time of year. It's not the cold so much, just that there's no cricket and everyone seems busy with something except me. This is strange, since it's also the time of year when I wish I was in Canada... I have this strange interest in Canada for one reason only, they seems to produce more wonderful folk singers than anywhere else in the world, bar maybe Greenwich Village. I've decided Im going to add some of my favourites here over the next few days.

To start, this is a video clip of the late Willie P Bennett, singing 'Music In Your Eyes', absolutely amazing song. The album version is great, though there is no stream available, it's pretty obscure.

Stan Rogers does a fantastic cover which can be found here. I often find myself singing this in the car, so if you see an idiot in a Ford Fiesta in the Ilford area singing this, you can be sure its me.
