notes

Nova Scotia's George Canyon has returned home. After living in Alberta for 14 years, the tried and true Maritimer has gone back to his roots and his native soil. Canyon, whose first three singles from his self-titled debut album, "Her Everything," "Enough Said" and "Way Too Much," all charted in the Top 10 on CMT in Canada, is hard at work on his new album. Canyon is also the only Canadian to make it into the Top 20 for 2004's Nashville Star, The USA Network/CMT television show.

With his own unique blend of Folk, Roots and Country, Canyon has earned top-notch reviews and a dedicated fan-base. Among his most memorable live performances, was gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with Chris Ledoux and playing the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta, performing prior to such luminaries as Loretta Lynn and Brooks and Dunn.

Canyon, who is co-owner of Riverfront Studios in New Glasgow, NS, has spent the past two years writing and co-writing songs with a number of different writers from Canada and abroad, creating some truly timeless pieces for his new album. The first single, "Good Day to Ride," written with Alberta's Dean McWhinnie, was released to radio across Canada in January 2004 to great response.

"I've finally figured out who I am as an artist," says Canyon of the new album. "I'm returning to my roots, both in coming home to Nova Scotia and in my music, which has a much stronger traditional sound now. I think it captures who I am so much more than my first album."

Finally back home in the place where he feels he truly belongs, Canyon hopes to continue in the tradition of passionate, insightful Country songwriting that has been a mainstay of Canada's East Coast.

    author: Care

    I was VERY pleased with this CD. I expected a demo, but found this to be BETTER than Nashville major label quality. The production, sound and music is all superb. Vocals are incredible. Lyrics are astounding. This CD is a MUST for any country fan young or old.

  • Good ol' boot scootin country!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Karen

    Watched the Canadian Music Awards this year and this is the first I heard of George. I was hooked from his performance on the show. Bought both CD's and love them!! Made my husband listen to them too and he is now a fan also. Keep on keeping on and don't miss out on this great artist!!!!!

  • A Superstar Effort
    author: Suzanne in Denver

    Great music and wonderful foot stompin', heartbreakin', toe tappin' lyrics and tunes. George is sure to be a superstar one day. Buy this CD and get in on the ground floor of his success! Good Job, George!

  • Awesome!!!!
    author: Sheila

    We LOVE the song "Looks Like A Good Day To Ride", George Canyon is great, and I am sure I will need another CD soon, my 7-year old daughter keeps playing that song over and over, I would defintely recommend this one to ALL.

  • The CD was awesome!
    author: Awesome CD

    The CD was fabulous! I love all the music on it and have been playing it since I got it. Great job George!

  • Great CD from North of the Border singer!
    author: Trevor

    Like most of the other reviewers, I have really enjoyed this CD. Also like some others, I became aware of George Canyon through Nashville Star (2004)and thought he deserved to win. The CD is what I would call minimalist contemporary country -- in other words, not really honky-tonk music and not the glitzy, overproduced pseudo-country we are all-too-used to these days. George has a great singing voice and is not afraid to use it. I have played this CD at least ten times since it arrived a few weeks ago. Highly recommended. This CD is not carried by the major outlets, so get it here!

  • I LOVE IT!!
    author: Joyce G

    I love George Canyon and I love his music! This CD is wonderful and so isn't the second one I got from BMG Music. I agree with the individual that said you were robbed on Nashville Star but am oh so happy you got a recording contract. Superstar with super music coming up!

  • This is true country music like we have not heard lately on the radio!!
    author: Betty Weston

    I had a difficult time finding this cd...searching for Good Day To Ride and when I found it I got many other bonuses. All the songs are great! Love it! This is true country! Thanks God for George!! Now we know "who's gonna fill their shoes?...."

  • I am working on wearing out the CD
    author: Alan Dern

    The cd is great> i have been listening to it since I received it. You were robbed at Nashville Star.

  • WHAT A WONDERFUL CD RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
    author: COLLEEN KAMPFE

    HAD FOLLOWED HIM THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE SHOW OF NASHVILLE STAR AND WAS SO HOPING THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS NO.1; BUT HE WILL DO WELL. HE HAS THE TALENT AND WITH THE SONGS AS THOSE ON THIS CD AND THOSE ON HIS ONE GOOD FRIEND CD THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL GO FAR. THIS CD SHOWS THAT HE HAS THE MAKING OF A STAR WITH THE ABILITY OF SHOWING HOW HE CAN HANDLE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC. THE CD SHOWS A GOOD MIX OF MUSIC AND IF YOU HAVE NOT ADDED GEORGE CANYON'S CDs TO YOUR COLLECTION, DO SO NOW WHILE YOU CAN GET THEM! BEST OF LUCK GEORGE IN YOUR MUSIC CAREER, FOR YOU WILL CERTAINLY HAVE ONE. COKE FROM NEBRASKA-USA

    Loved George on Nashville Star and at the concert in Albuquerque. I really love his cd and can't wait for his next one to come out. He really sings with feelings in his songs. I think he will go far in his career. Maybe another Toby Keith.

    author: Joe

    This is without a doubt the best CD I've bought this year...probably the best in several years. Can't wait for his new one...cuz I love this one way too much!

  • Awesome CD!
    author: Shirley Payne

    This truly is an awesome CD. George Canyon does such a variety of songs, shows such talent, I love it and will definitely buy future CD's of his. As Tracy said on Nashville Star......I see a trend!

  • Excellent! A must have for any country music fan!
    author: Joe Adcock

    The songs on this CD are both musically riviting & lyrically deep! George has a way of drawing you into the story of the song. He does a terrific job of keeping the music country & not going "over the top". Any die hard or moderate country music fan will LOVE this CD for their collection! This is a 5 star Nashville Star!

  • Simply Awesome!!!
    author: Sandy Lenihan

    This is the best CD I have purchased this year! George was who my husband and I both were pulling (and voting) for on Nashville Star, and this CD is a great showcase for his talent as a singer and a songwriter. I find myself humming Her Everything and Scotia Home incessantly! This CD has not come out of my player since I received it...is it possible to wear out a CD???

  • Great CD!
    author: Karna Clark

    Bought it for my husband since George was his pick for Nashville Star. He loves it.

  • I love this CD and would like other CD'S by George Canyon.
    author: Keith Fechter

    I love this CD. George Canyon may be Canadian, but he is pure country to me. I would like other CD's by him when they become available.

  • Awesome CD!
    author: Susan Fahncke

    I LOVE this CD! I bought it because my husband and I watched George on the Country Music equivalent to American Idol (but it requires a lot more talent and is outstanding!). We bought the CD and got it right away from CD Baby - great service! This music is now a favorite in our home! We can't wait for the next one!

  • Excellent CD!
    author: Nancyltc

    This is an excellent CD! I bought it for "Good Day to Ride", but all of the songs on it are great! Usually with a CD you get a song or 2 that you skip over.... NOT on this CD! Hopefully this is just the first of many Excellent CD's from George Canyon!

  • I loved this CD
    author: Anita Z

    I really enjoy listening to this CD. The music it great to listen to anywhere,which I do! Great music!! Great Buy!

  • Love this CD!!
    author: Dale B.

    This CD was actually purchased for my husband, but I really love listening to it, too. Good Day To Ride, The Shaft, and Her Everything are worth the price of the CD, but there are eight other songs that are also very good. If you love good traditional country music, do yourself a favor and get this CD.
