Brent McAthey - Brent McAthey (1991)
We feel like we're making up for the lack of country music over the CCPS's history with this batch of Sundae Sound tapes. You'll be glad to hear that this tape has far more in common with Corb Lund's style of country than, well, we can't even come up with the name of a generic country pop band.
What's really interesting about McAthey is he's still active with a music career - in both Canada AND Mexico. We have to admit that's a pretty smart business plan - we assume there aren't a pile of country bands playing in Mazatlan. Plus - you can write off your winter escapes!

Tim Welter - Purple Sage Mountaineer & the Midwest Ranch Boys (1992)
Okay, another one from Sundae Sound that we can't tell you much about. Tim Welter sings country music, which you probably could have guessed from the cover of the tape. There are two songs on here, a hurtin' love song and - one of our FAVOURITE THINGS - a CALGARY SONG. Is it better than "Neighbours of the World"? How does it measure up to Cat Ranch's "Song For Calgary"?

Richard Livingstone - Imaginations
You're going to hear this from us fairly often over the next while as we work through this box of tapes: we have no idea what this is. We assume this is a Calgary artist, but the fact that it was manufactured out of BC's lower mainland has us questioning that a bit. Plus, we cannot find anything about this in our extensive search (which is actually limited to the Calgary Herald's archives).
This is a very polished and well-produced piece, very pop, lots of religious overtones - but really, beyond that, we've got nothing.
Except the download!
