We are down to the last four this week and are featuring three ladies, two of whom are Canadian and not Joni Mitchell.
The lady pictured above is not Canadian but is certainly the first person called Ernestine to feature on these pages.
It is the Jazz and Blues legend Ernestine Anderson with T'aint Nobody's Bizness (If I Do) She died in 2006 aged 87 and I suspect that someone with great taste posted this as a tribute
Ernestine Anderson - T'aint Nobody's Bizness (If I Do)
The fist Canadian who is not Joni Mitchell is Sarah Harmer who may well also be the first Sarah to feature here
She is a singer/songwriter and also a former member of a band called The Saddletramps.
This song is from her 2005 album I'm a Mountain nominated for the Canadian album of the year.
She is also an activist co-founding PERL an organisation which campaigned to protect the Niagara Escarpment from a proposed gravel development. Good on her I say
Finally we have another Canadian who is not Joni Mitchell and who is not the first Amy to appear on these pages. Amy Millan performs both as a solo artist and as a member of the bands Stars and Broken Social Scene. This song comes from her 2006 debut solo album Honey From The Tombs and is rather lovely.
Number 30 next week.
Three quality tunes. Thanks.
