Canadian Country Music

Canadian country as developed by Otto Wilke, Carter, Snow, Earl Heywood and Stu Davis used a less nasal and more distinctly pronounced vocal style than American music and stuck with more traditional ballads and narratives while US country began to use more songs about bars, family relationships and quarrels between lovers. This style of country music became very popular in Canada over the next couple of decades.

Later popular Canadian country stars range from Stompin’ Tom Connors and Tom Jackson to Shania Twain and Rick Tippe to Dean Brody, Brett Kissel, Paul Brandt and Jess Moskaluke. Radio and television stations in Canada which play country music, however, are sometimes more flexible in how they define the genre than their counterparts in the United States.

Canadian country stations have commonly played artists more commonly associated with folk music, such as Bruce Cockburn, Leahy, Spirit of the West and The Rankin Family. There is also a small francophone scene in the genre, typically sung in the joual dialect. Francophone artists include Renée Martel, Gildor Roy, Patrick Norman, Willie Lamothe, Steph Carse and Georges Hamel. Wikipedia
