CANCON NOTES

MARK'S CANCON SONG NOTES: December 24 – December 30, 2010

Bamford, Gord (C)

My Daughter’s Father

Here’s the daughter version of ‘Little Guy’. It’s just as good…or maybe better. (11/8)

Barrie, Melissa Rae (C)

Passenger Window

I could listen to this over and over…love it. Nice voice. Solid writing. (9/20)

Bent, Ridley

All The Heat Is In The Whiskey

Maybe a late night spin during Christmas week. (12/05)

Brownlee, Chad (C)

Day After You

Strong lyric…strong vocal. (12/20/10)

Bullrush

Human

(11/8)

Great Big Sea

Good People

This is so quirky and elementary but that’s what makes it special. I like it…but…can’t see the typical country listener accepting this as country. (10/25)

Blaine, Jason

Hillbilly Girl

He sounds good…the song is pretty vanilla. (9/20)

Brody, Dean (C)

Trail In Life

Incredible writer…rich, beautiful voice. Canadian country radio you should be very thankful to have Dean Brody!! This is excellent. (10/25)

Canyon, George (C)

Better Be Home Soon

1988 Crowded House cover. I’m on the fence…like it but…(11/1)

Danielsen, Danica

Unspoken

Love her unique vocal!! This is catchy. Very solid debut vocally and lyrically. (9/20)

Pritchett, Aaron (C)

Light It Up

This is along the same lines as ‘Hold My Beer’ and ‘Let’s Get Rowdy’ but better written. It’s not the best on his new CD but a great song to kick it off! (10/18)

Scott, Marlee

Here To Heaven

She sounds excellent like she always does. Nice hook. Solid production and arrangement. Now…is she the female that will cut through? (11/10)

I think this should work from now until 11/11…and then after that I fear it may be done. I see a short run for this. The video makes this song better. Solid vocal performances from all. (10/18)
