    Default Colin James - Rockin' Canuck!

    I've been a fan of Colin James for 20 years now dating back to his first release 'Colin James' back in 1988.
    Here's a few clips I found that are pretty cool...


    And one for the Corner Gas Crowd...

    Nice post Algonquin. The first two posts kick butt.

    As Winston Churchill said "Why stand, when you can sit"

    I like the humorous one too.

    For a young guy, he's been playing for quite a while now.

    SRV saw him play when he was 18, and was impressed enough to take him on tour through the Canadian Prairie part of his show.

    He is really good. I saw him live Edmonton, and man that was loud. He plays guitar really really good too.

    Love that episode of "Corner Gas" Colin is a Saskatchewan boy as well

    He's an awesome player, but I really have come to respect his songwriting and arranging. He's an all around musician and artist.
