Canada has long had a vibrant love of country music, often tinged with strong regional pride and songs extolling the great Northern expanse. Some artists, of course, became well-known down south, but for every Hank Snow there are literally thousands of other musicians who never made it to Nashville, or never even tried. At any rate, the Canadian country scene is huge, and deserves to be celebrated in its own right. I'm pretty sure I'm only scratching the surface here, and welcome any recommendations, additions or corrections.

(Produced by R. Harlan Smith & Joe Kozak)
A professional rodeo rider and bronc buster, Alberta's singing cowboy Wayne Vold won championships in 1965 and '66, parlaying his success into a modest musical career, and later worked as a "stock contractor," which I think means he brokers livestock sales. As far as I know this was his only album, though he also recorded several singles on other small labels.
