Steve Earle, Emmylou, Jolie Holland, Wilf Carter, etc.

From our correspondent in the Prairie Provinces, Alex Emond:
"Happy Saint Patrick's Day. I took some shots of the too-small sub-section of my vinyl collection. Texas is the soul home of the drugstore truckdriving man and all things trucker, but I'm sure  there are some Canadian Gems out there too. Stompin' Tom, Hank Snow, Dutch Mason,Wilf Carter. The nation needs a Canadian Anthology of Trucker Tunes. Remember ... 'For every mile of road, there's two miles of ditch, eh?'" --AE
            Autoliterate Anthology of Road Tunes, Vol. 1: Most of these links are youtube performances. We should really organize a playlist on Spotify or some such, but this is beyond AL's tech know-how or patience, at present. 
             Should anyone feel up to organizing a playlist, autoliterate would be most grateful to receive the link: send it (and/or suggestions for additions to the list) to: himself@peterbehrens.org
