Canadian Rock & Roll: 1950s/1960s
Australia Rock & Roll: 1960s
In looking deeper into the music of our North American neighbor, it is quite impressive how many 1960s vintage rock groups there were considering the size of Canada back then. There were a total of about 20 million citizens in the mid 1960s.
The country almost had more of a local feel to it when it came to the popularity of the rock bands especially, much more so than the United States.
Then there was the Aussies way out there on the huge but sparsely populated island. In the 60s Australia definitely had it’s act together!
