Artist
Murray McLaughlin, 64-yr-old Canadian singer/songwriter who caught the folk rock wave as it swept across North America in the Sixties and Seventies. He wrote socially conscious ballads, having numerous hits, among them" On The Boulevard," "Whispering Rain," Try Walkin' Away" and "The Farmer's Song." Mclaughldin's voice is not large, but quirky in the way of Dylan's or Elton's. Like most Canadian artists of his time, Mclaughlin benefited immensely from the Canadian government's "Canadian content" buttress against Canadian airwaves being swamped by the much larger American commercial music market on the air and in the record stores. The "Can con" gave him a step up to the North American market and he was in demand in the UK too. Mclaughlin was born in Scotland. He has won 10 Juno Awards throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and been nominated for a total of 23 Juno awards.
