MARK'S CANCON SONG NOTES: July 28 – August 3, 2011
| Adams, Emily Taylor | Keep Your Pants On | (6/6) |
| Amero, Don | Right Where I Want To Be | (6/27) |
| Bamford, Gord (C) | Hank Williams Lonesome | So yet once again Gord Bamford has made heavy twang very acceptable! (6/13) |
| Banks, Victoria | I’m Gone | Not bad…. I feel like I’ve heard this song before. Check the lyrics for Paul Brandt’s ‘Leavin’. (7/11) |
| Barrie, Melissa Rae | Miss Me For A Minute | (6/6) |
| Bechamp, Debbie | I’m Leaving This Morning | (6/20) |
| Blackie and the Rodeo Kings featuring Roseanne Cash | I’ve Got You Covered | (6/6) |
| Bourjeaurd, Danielle | Way Too Late | Harsh and noisy but well done. (7/11) |
| Brody, Dean (C) | Little Yellow Blanket | Brilliant. How could the 6th single from this CD be so good? (7/11) |
| Chaplin, Ann | Stay | (6/6) |
| Chisolm, Shane | Let Your Worries Go | Easy going summer song. Well done but will have a tough time finding a spot with how busy it is this summer. (7/18) |
| Clark, Terri (C) | Here for a Good Time | This is either going to fall flat on listeners or really work for the remainder of the summer and maybe beyond. I can’t predict it … but I will say I like it and want to try it now. (7/18) |
| Dane, Marshall | I Needed This | Almost works…but just average. (6/20) |
| Doc Walker (C) | Country Girl | Growing on me… (6/27) |
| Farrell, Jessie (C) | Turn You Down | Hypnotically stunning. Love the stinging acoustic and electric guitar. An intoxicatingly haunting hook and melody. (6/27) |
| Fahey, Joe | ‘Til Then | (7/4) |
| Ford, Colt | Country Thang | George Canyon and Jason McCoy give this song a chance. It sure does rock though…which will polarize. (7/11) |
| Friends of Jack | Cool Me Down | (6/6) |
| Gomie | This Is My Life (and I’m Alright) | This was a Doc Walker song that I thought should have been a single. Now it is with Gomie and I like this version just as much…maybe more. Crazy fun. (6/6) |
| High Valley | Call Me Old Fashioned | Nice follow up to ‘A Father’s Love’. (6/27) |
| Hogan, Sean | A Song We Can Sing To | I like this…love the title, writing, hook and melody. (6/20) |
| Isabella, Kira (C) | Love Me Like That | Vocally and melodically this is good. Lyrically a bit young for the core country demo. (7/4) |
| Jensen, Larry/Gilham, Tommy | I’ve Been Better | (7/18) |
| Johnson, Carolyn Dawn | I’d Still Have You | Not sure how I feel about this. Well written and performed. Is it a hit? (7/18) |
| Keats, The | Handsome | (7/18) |
| Keith and Renee | Best Day | Well done…solid hook and energy. (7/11) |
| Lee, Terra | Good Day To Be Me | I’ve always liked her unique voice. Positive, driving song. Although good, it will be hard for her to beat out most contenders each week in a music meeting. (6/27) |
