I’m a frequent listener of CBC radio 1 and 2 and noticed that I was hearing songs by Canadian artist Joel Plaskett quite often. I also quite enjoyed them. I stopped in at HMV the other day and picked up two of his discs “Three” and “LaDeDa”. I love his sound and his wide variety of musical styles throughout both albums. I also received a copy of “Ashtray Rock” which was recorded with his band The Emergency.
With a little bit of research I learned that he’s been performing since the early 90′s and originated in Nova Scotia. He seems like an interesting guy as well as fantastic artist. If you’re looking for something new I recommend giving him a try.
