Songs of the Provinces

Alberta

• "Alberta Bound", Gordon Lightfoot

• [Ian Tyson's "Alberta's Child" and "Old Alberta Moon" (Old Corrals and Sagebrush & Other Cowboy Culture Classics), as well as "Four Strong Winds" (from his Ian & Sylvia days, on their "Greatest Hits", and on one of his newer albums) are fine songs alluding to Alberta, but not quite about Alberta.]

• "Beautiful British Columbia", Alberta Slim & the X Ranch Boys
  from Canada, My Homeland, RCA Victor CAL-2113, purchased somewhere around 1970 and surely long since out of print; contributed by Manfred Neumann

This page was up for over two years before someone (Bruce) finally informed me (in his own tactful way) that I had stupidly omitted Prince Edward Island. No wonder no one was sending me songs from there!! But now, folks, it's time to make up for lost time. Send in those songs.

Yes, of course the song can be in French!
