This double CD includes songs about cowboys, fishermen, farmers, loggers, sailors, whalers, and the Canadian landscape we love. All songs are written and arranged by real Canadians and sung by Canada’s prize-winning Chor Leoni conducted by Diane Loomer. The choir is superbly backed up by the Celtic-funk band, Mad Pudding.
