I've heard of the Be Good Tanyas! Otherwise I've been really out of touch since I've left uni (and the country for that matter!)

Last Canadian CD I bought was the Wailin' Jennys and that was five years ago!

You have to listen to the Be Good Tanyas and Po' Girl. They are brilliant (as the poster says) - think you will be knocked out. I have albums from both and play them constantly. The other all time famous and best ever Joni Mitchell is a fellow country(person) of yours and one of the best musicians of all time. Don't forget Neil Young either.
You can check out reviews for BGTanyas and Po'Girl on Amazon.
