It's been 75 years since the Group of Seven first interpreted the Canadian wilderness with their art. Now, other artists are interpreting them. Last year, the National Gallery of Canada commissioned rock group the Rheostatics to write music to complement the Group's paintings. The result was the mostly instrumental album Music Inspired by the Group of Seven. As the Rheostatics rehearse a live performance, CBC arts reporter Laurie Brown draws parallels between the group and the Group.
i love dave's comment at the 5 minute mark while they were paddling by that rock island- id bet any money he was thinking of a Rush lyric: : "Bruised and sullen storm clouds have the light of day obscured..." <3
