Bear Family continues its exploration of vintage Canadian country music with, an anthology of RCA Victor recordings by French-Canadian singer and her husband, from Maine. The two artists enjoyed regional success in Maine and Canada and performed for three years on the Wheeling Jamboree in West Virginia, but are mostly remembered today for having parented legendary jazz guitarist. Also made a minor splash with a series of answer songs in the '50s, charting one national Top Ten hit with a follow-up to ' 'I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know About Him.'
Unfortunately, doesn't include any of 's popular answer records. The anthology offers a sampling of songs and recorded together and individually between 1950-1954, some of which ('Prince Edward Island Is Heaven to Me,' 'When It's Apple Blossom Time In Annapolis Valley') were aimed at the Canadian audience. 'I Heard the Bluebirds Sing,' a song by fellow Canadian, is heard here in a recording that predates ' definitive hit version by several years. There was a great deal of variety among Canadian country artists of the '50s, so it cannot be said that the music of and bears any particular similarity to that of, and others. Their sound is their own, with a unique blend of 's rich northeastern voice and 's faint French-Canadian accent, and a repertoire composed, to a large degree, by the duo's guitarist,. The collection exhumes one previously unreleased duet, 'Come Back to This Heart of Mine,' that is a worthwhile discovery, but the omission of 's answer songs is lamentable.
Some of 's other RCA Victor recordings can be found on a public domain anthology from Germany's Cattle label,.
