    Saw them live in Ontario many years ago. They were playing a weekend festival that my band was playing in at the time.

    Is it cheating to list Uncle Neil's records? I could put together a Top 20 of favourite Canadian albums and they'd all be Neil's :D

    Abdominal and DJ Fase - 'Flowtation Device'
    Matthew Good - 'In A Coma'
    The Sheepdogs - 'The Sheepdogs'

    (Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)

    This woman is awesome. Saw her in Kamloops and thought she was an unbelievable talent. Such a voice and such a person.

    She did a cover of Solsbury Hill that was out of this world.
