Picking up on yesterday’s post, here’s another Canadian singer, though one far different than Leonard Cohen: Stan Rogers, with “Northwest Passage.”
I think I first heard this song on an episode of Due South, years ago. I watched another episode, from earlier in the show’s run, last night*, and that seemed like a good enough excuse to share the song now. I’m not too familiar with Rogers’ work as a whole, although I gather he died much too young, and I know I like this song.
*No reason, just wanted to.
Don’t forget about Stompin’ Tom Connors and ‘The Good Old Hockey Song.’ And Gordon Lightfoot sining ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.’

Err. Singing.
Well it is song, singular, of the day. I’m sure I’ll get around to other Canadians. There’s plenty of Gordon Lightfoot, for one, in my playlist.
Llyra turned me onto Stan Rogers – I really like a lot of his stuff
