Saturday Edge Episode August 16, 2025
Encyclopedia Canadiana
8:00am - 12:00pm
Some of my favourite Canadian songs down the 40 years of The Saturday Edge, plus some more faves from around the planet. Just a few new releases this week, and two album features: Cathy Jordan's Crankie Song Project, and the unreleased album by Scottie supergroup Clan Alba (which should beacon available later this year, pending a legal challenge to help out Scottish singer Dick Gaughan, whose back catalogue has been held hostage for 5 decades, and who is no longer able to perform. Such a travesty and a tragedy, respectively.
