I’ve been waiting to hear from more than just the wonderful artists who’ve been creating the many variations on the #IdleNoMore theme.

And now there’s this first compilation of songs “Idle No More: Songs for Life Vol. 1” of free for downloading songs.

Track #10 features the Northwest Territories own “The Johnnys” and their song “Blood Money”

From The Johnnys” website..
“…The Johnnys are a high-energy rock’n’roll group founded by singer/guitarist Veronica Johnny and drummer Dave Johnny. Since their beginning in the Canadian sub-arctic, The Johnnys have achieved national prominence through television, film and live performances – legendary for their pace and sweaty, leather-clad mayhem. The band’s albums, I Like It A Lot and Louder Faster More Fun, were both nominated for national awards in the Best Rock CD category….”

 

“My people will sleep for one hundred years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back.”~ Louis Riel, July 4, 1885.
