For years, people have asked me to explore some Canadian country music, and in today's video, with the help of Ryan Lindsay, I do just that! This is meant to be a beginner's guide for people (like me) that don't know ANYTHING about the various scenes and famous artists, so I hope Canadians find it honoring and everyone else finds it helpful. I had a blast diving in!
