Canadian Racer - A Fine Selection Of Obscure Tracks From The Canadian Vaults by Pilooski

If this is Canada, take us to the Great White North! Our northern neighbors never sounded so funky -- and this jam-packed selection of tracks brings together a Canadian scene of the 70s that's every bit as great as musical scene in the US. The set's stuffed with work by a host of tight little combos, and also even features a few rare vocal numbers that are surprisingly soulful -- all of them the sort of obscure tracks that were never issued outside of the maple leaf nation, and which now change hands between collectors at super-rare prices. Includes some killer jazzy numbers -- and the set list includes "Funky Feeling" by Bill Martin, "If I Were A Carpenter" by Don Carrington Trio, "Kgee" by Floyd Lawson & The Heart Of Stone, "Hook & Sling" by Frank Motley & The Hitchhikers, "Savin Grace" by Doug Riley, "Coco Boogaloo" by Marius Cultier, "Party On The Block" by Clive Bradley, and "Psychedelic Party" by Patsy Galant. 14 cuts in all!
