Ruth Bonneville / Free Press INTERSECTION - best cdn music Photo of Vicki Shae, Country 99, in her studio on the 30th floor at 201 Portage. Story on local radio types sharing their favourite Canadian tracks, each of which, we should point out, is 100 per cent tariff-free. ——- Vicki Shae, Country 99 The Girl - City and Colour (2008): This song is like a warm sweater, then it shifts into an Irish folk mode that’s so joyful. These Eyes - Guess Who (1969): I could easily make all five of my selections Guess Who/Burton Cummings songs. They’re all so catchy and melodically interesting. This piano riff is everything. Lost Together - Blue Rodeo (1992): It was hard not to pick a Blue Rodeo song with Jim Cuddy singing because I absolutely love his voice. But this song (with Greg Keelor on lead vocals) is so anthemic. Rosy and Grey - Lowest of the Low (1991): I don’t even know how this song came on my radar but ever since I first heard it, I’ve been charmed by it. It’s earnest and cheeky. It’s All Coming Back to Me Now - Céline Dion (1996): Céline Dion was my idol when I was a kid, so I had to include her. This song is so epic and booming and dramatic. Don’t watch the video for it though. It’s brutal. June 23rd, 2025
