I know! That song! It nails it in so many ways.
Folk music is so much about having a good time! It's frequently about having a good time just to spite everyone else :D

Moxy Fruvous are another Canadian group, folk-pop. If you listen to CBC, the person who does Q was the drummer.
They did King of Spain, you might have heard that one?

Recs for Fruvous! Bargainville is a good start. River Valley, maybe as the one I had to pick. Though King of Spain is much more fun :)
Other songs that I love:
The drinking song
Gulf War Song
Down from Above (creepy!)
Fly

Awesome women recs:
Fruit: http://www.fruit.on.net/home1.php though the website doesn't work for me. I have their album Burn, it's fantastic (I haven't heard the others, I'm sure they're fantastic too!)

Dala: http://dalagirls.com/music/ I've only heard "This moment in a flash" Listened to "Count to Ten" endlessly when I worked at the Folk Festival office

(And I just remembered Hevia, who is not female, but who is a spanish bagpiper, With not scottish pipes so there's no drone, but its very cool.)


No, I haven't heard of either of those! I'll look them up!
