Dig into an all-vinyl helping from one of Canada’s overlooked and underappreciated provinces. Rural rock with guitars informed by six months of winter. Prairie Lily ladies and god-fearing men. 800 pounds of country rock from a trio of CFL players. A paean to a Métis folk hero. And Howard. Welcome to Saskatchewan.

Where are da Pikes???
Love this mixtape. Just wondering: any plans to put your mixes on Spotify? Not sure if that’s even possible but it would make listening a lot easier. Thanks!!
@clams – doubt most of this ever made it to cd, let alone digial
I am with Clams, it will be nice a Youtube or Spotify mix…but anyway thanks for share it!
Gimmie gimmie guys, you can download this mix by clicking on it and selecting save from your browser’s file menu
@clams and @georgie — How could this be any easier to listen to? You literally just click the link above and you are listening to it. I just don’t understand the issue.
WHO ARE YOU?! How is it that someone in LA has all Saskatchewan gold? Thanks for the mix. Making my day.
for fishing trips deep into the rarely explored Voyageur National Park wilderness, these tunes would make for good campfire banter. if there is anyway for me to get the mp3 of this setlist, i along with my fishing companions would be forever grateful
Really disappointed that this is MP3. Any chance to get this as a 64kbps youtube mix?
Nice list, thanks. Can you tell anything more about Dunleath – Footsteps?
Will this ever be on laser disc?
i cannot find on the net news or album of Dunleath ! i love that sound of guitar..have you some links ?
@catastrophy – It’s relatively unknown. But it’ll be the first entry on http://recordsfromsk.blogspot.ca/, in a week or two.

I have several Saskatchewan related records, including 800lbs of West Country Rock (Sask Roughriders!), Stars from Gala Night (Louise Gadzala, Ivan McNabb, Troubadors Three, Jeff Howard.)
Also have rare recording of Barry Ennis “Mountain of Ice” from the 1960’s.
Contact if interested in borrowing.
Moved it from cassette to 8-Track today. Now i get to listen in on it on the way eh. To the golf course with my old golf sticks 🙂
Really nice mixtapes
Literally trapped in the Dunleath track for the last week
