Every year I have the opportunity to share my top ten roots albums of the year with other Canadian music aficionados in the annual poll by the now-defunct Penguin Eggs Magazine, which is still maintained on Roots Music Canada - you should explore here: https://www.rootsmusic.ca/
Due to a seasonal programming glitch, last week's scheduled reconnaissance of the resonant residue of 2024's best music wasn't broadcast, so we'll be hitting you upwards with the hits one more time this week. On display - super superb hypersonic Canadian songs by Fergus Hambleton & Lord Sassafrass, Jesse Waldman & Marc L'Esperance, Tréson & Margaret Maria, Angelique Francis, Amanda Martinez, Andrew Rodgers, Drake & Gordo, Marshall Dane, Melanie Fiona, The Memberz, Sam Drysdale , Alessia Cara, Tim Harrison, Ryan Wayne, Majid Jordan, Twin Flames, Bill McBirnie, Belfountain, Lori Yates, Burnstick, Geoffroy, Augustix, Laila Biali , Tonya P., Vishtèn & LuA, not to mention extramural innovations from D.J. Koze & Damon Albarn, Kumar x The 18th Parallel, Davido & a new jam by Shabaka Hutchings featuring Andre 3000!
