Stan Rogers' most loved song is undoubtedly "Northwest Passage" - a timeless composition that seamlessly intertwines historical exploration with personal introspection. Love of the land, the heartbreak of a poor crop, the constant lack of money... Stan is able to capture it in a way that touches the heart. In 1995, when Peter Gzowski of CBC's national radio program Morningside asked Canadians to pick an alternate national anthem, "Northwest Passage" was the overwhelming choice of his listeners. The album of the same name is a poetic odyssey that takes listeners through the expansive landscapes of Canada, with stops in each province. The album includes fan favourites "The Field Behind The Plow," "The Idiot," "Workin' Joe" and "Free In The Harbour." Remastered and reissued by Borealis Records.
