Description
In 1996 the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences contracted with Quarry Press to publish a history of Canadian popular music since Confederation to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the JUNO Awards. The book was a smashing success, with 195,000 copies sold to schools, libraries, and music fans from coast to coast.
Oh What a Feeling: The Next Generation refreshes the information and images from the first volume and then focuses on the events of the past three decades as a host of Canadian musicians became international stars — Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Barenaked Ladies, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Dianna Krall, and many more. Arranged chronologically and fully illustrated, Oh What a Feeling Volume 2 promises to be as successful as the first volume.
