Episode 2 Down by Maple River - Canadian folk-rock

Finally it’s time for an episode devoted only to Canadian artists. However, to narrow it down a little bit we’ve chosen to focus on some of the excellent major label folk-rock albums recorded in the country during the 70s and for the most part we’re going to bury ourselves deep into the CSN and Neil Young influenced folk-rock but also have a listen to a few stunning acid-folk tunes. It’s striking how many quality artists that were signed by the Canadian offices of Columbia and Polydor, which expect for the artist in the episode, also released Fraser & Debolt, Roger Rodier and Life among others. So hats off to the A&R departments that provided us collectors with so many obscure records that both have that underground feel and at the same time the recording quality of a major label.

The songs in this episode are all good examples of the fine Canadian folk-rock and acid-folk sound and while most of them are renowned and appreciated today we also think that some artists, like D’Arcy Draper should be more well-known and could very well be placed up there with Riverson and Perth County Conspiracy as one of the top Canadian folk-rock albums.

Tapestry-Down by Maple River (Polydor 1973)
