A Superb Trilogy of Narrative Nonfiction about Canadian Indie Music

On The Great Gray Bridge, the companion site to this one, I wrote about my enjoyment of and appreciation for the superb trilogy of books about Canadian indie music, 1) WHISPERING PINES: The Northern Roots of American Music…from Hank Snow to The Band by Jason Schneider; 2) HAVE NOT BEEN THE SAME: The CANROCK Renaissance 1985-1995 by Michael Barclay, Ian A.D. Jack, and Jason Schneider; and 3) the latest, HEARTS ON FIRE: Six Years that Changed Canadian Music, 2000-2005 by Michael Barclay, all published by ECW Press.
