First impressions are important, especially in the music industry. With that in mind, the CBC Music recently chose their 25 Best Canadian Debut Albums list to celebrate our country's 150th. Not surprisingly, there were a few local entries.
Hammertown legend Daniel Lanois appears as does talented former Hamiltonian Kathleen Edwards.
