Thanks so much, X & Chuntao!
This man was a font of good, emotional songs. Fellow Canadian, Colleen Peterson recorded "Music In Your Eyes", and "Tryin' To Start Out Clean", for just two examples.
Very cool to get to the root - most welcome!
Thanks very much for this. I had an album version of this but it is long past playable and it is quite impossible to find. A great album, with some of his best songs.
Woodshed was a label run by Essig and that explains in part why some of these albums disappeared.
The Whiteley brothers were also The Original Sloth Band.
White Line was also recorded on David Wiffen's excellent Coast to Coast Fever, also miraculously found on this site.
