Various Shakin' Up North - Canadian Rockabilly (CD)

Canada... home of snow, ice hockey, maple syrup, cod wars, Shania Twain ...and rock 'n' roll! Yes, the same megawatt stations that pumped early rock and R&B into the heart of the United States also pumped it into Canada, which is hardly surprising as 90 per cent of the Canadian population lives within 50 miles of the American border. Canadians were rocking and rolling from the beginning, except no one outside Canada knew about it until now. Canadian rock 'n' roll expert Wayne Russell assembled this 30 track compilation of the coolest rock 'n' roll from the coldest place on earth.
