I think the US music industry focuses on the young and to pump more whimpy music into the airwaves and to be more sleezy to catch the eyes of their audience while losing all the integraty and soul that music can posses. Loreena didn't want to play their game and so she controls every aspect of her music and that is part of why each song is a masterpiece. I don't know much about other Canadian singers, just Getty Lee. Or is it Geddy? I love Rush too, nothing like Loreena!

Yep... Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, Devin Townsend... and on and on... Some amazing talent up there.

this sucks so much

I am grateful to Itunes and YouTube for the exposure of many different songs and topics. Also for Loreena for expressing different cultures and a great talent she has for singing, writing and business. I agree with you completely, but now you've got me curious of who else you like to listen to? My point is mainly that I hear no heart, no soul in todays music like you do with Loreena's and Luke's performances.

Take care!

Zylophila, I understand what you are saying concerning the US music industry but I submit to you the world of Itunes and Youtube is exposing/allowed people like me and my children access to songs, heritage, talent that I could not have imagined 20 years ago. Im no longer limited to what a label is promoting or to press junkets, etc. I now am discovering people like Loreena McKennitt, Luke Kelly, and I could go on but our preferences might be so different that the point will be lost!

[Zylophila]

Thank you so much! I'll check them out.

Or just listen to Ladysmith Black Mambaso. I am going to see them tonight. The play in or around Seattle once a year, I wish Loreena would pick up that habit.
