Canadian Musicians


It recently occured to me that I like and listen to an awfully high percentage of Canadian music.
I am quite happy to make this confession because/although I am not Canadian.[Aussie]

Some of the Canadian artists I regularly listen to are-Bruce Cockburn,The Flying Bulgars,Holly Cole,Jane Siberry,Leonard Cohen,Mc Gariggle Sisters,Martha Wainwright,Rufus Wainwright,KD Lang,Neil Young,Blue Rodeo,Joni Mitchell,Ron Sexsmith,Harry Manx,Sarah McLachlan and Diana Krall.

I was hoping to expand this list and would be grateful for any other suggestions of good Canadian music in a similar vain[please no Rush suggestions].I'm sure that like many great Australian musos some great Canadians get little recognition outside of their own country.
If it is well recorded too that would be a real bonus.
A brief description of what type of music any suggestions typify would also help.

I second the Duhks. Also saw the Mammals back up and play with Arlo Guthrie last year, that was great. They all know one another, all very talented.
Cant say enough about the Duhks new album Migrations. Listening to it now, saw them live weeks ago, fantastic, I love these guys!
How can we forget the incredible vocal stylings of that great actor/singer William Shatner. Sorry Canada, he's all yours.
