Episode description
French Canadian Country (n.) [fren-tʃ kəˈn-eɪ-di-ən kʌn-tri]: Early Country music famously known from Nashville and the likes of other southern states, has many thanks to give to the Celtic Norman Immigrants of Northern France, the Irish-Scottish Celtic regions concentrated in Canadas Atlantic Costal Provinces, and the Western Canadian and Western US settlers and pioneers. This French spoken, twangy sounding, acadian inspired genre has so many artists that fly under the radar of mainstream country singers that it has to be a favorite on the Subgenropedia
