New Friend – Tim Hus – Canadiana Cowboy Music
So several of my favorite musicians hail from north of the border folks like Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, James Keelaghan and recently I added John Wort Hannum to my collection well today I added another. I was checking out the FAR Chart and I saw several names picked out three and cued them up in Rhapsody. It didn’t take long to find one that I liked. The first artist was Tim Hus his new album is Hockeytown but on Rhapsody it was only for purchase so you can only listen to 30 second clips. They did have other albums though so I loaded up another of his releases Huskies & Husqvarnas and I’ve listened to it several times and it was the soundtrack for my four mile run today! Anyway I loved the album, it’s just the type of album I love! The songs are filled with that sense of place and in the case of Hus’ music the place is Canada. The tracks include songs about: hauling beer across Canada “Beer Hauler”, selling the farm “So Long Saskatchewan”, touring and playing music across Canada “Great Plains Tour”, mining “Flin Flon” and just all of the tracks are great! Here’s what his website says about the Alberta based singer:
