A Little Canadian Gravy
Earlier today on Q with Jian Gomeshi actor Billy Bob Thorton said that "Canada is like mashed potatoes without gravy ...' he also said that he had more musical credibility than younger artists who Jian might interview and that Canadian audiences just sat there. So, by way of response I'd like to present a little Canadian gravy: Bands who are younger than Billy Bob but are doing what he is trying to do only they're doing it better. In large part they are better because they have their own distinctive sound and approach, where as Billy Bob's Boxmasters are little more than a mediocre, average, unremarkable country band with less musical credibility than Bruce Willis. You'll also notice in some of these live clips that, if you're any good at what you do, audiences don't just sit there.

What a hack.
you said it!
Good list, but could use some Sadies.
I know, and some Sunparlour Players and about a dozen others, but I had to stop somewhere.
what a waste of airtime. the reason he doesn't want his acting career discussed is b/c he knows that it is the ONLY reason people listen to his music.
