Summary
"Whispering Pines (named after Richard Manuel's song from The Band's self-titled second album) is the first thorough exploration of how many famous artists, along with other lesser known, but no less significant artists came to establish a distinct Canadian musical identity. It is a narrative history, explaining the personal and creative connections that many of the artists shared, with emphasis placed, always, on the music - how and where it originated, and what impact it eventually had on both the artists' subsequent work, as well as the wider musical world."--BOOK JACKET.
