About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

One Good Friend is the American major-label debut for George Canyon, a Canadian country singer whose 1999 eponymous debut made a few waves in his homeland. It still took him a long time to cross over into the American market -- a long five years separates that record and the stateside appearance of One Good Friend in the fall of 2004. During that time, he went through the Nashville production line, shedding some of the Canadian quirks and winding up as a likable, straight-ahead neo-traditionalist country singer. Canyon has a nice tenor voice, one that he can twist into a good approximation of George Jones when he wants to (as he does on the novelty highlight "Workin' on Ten"), but this record is too smooth and friendly to be hardcore honky tonk. That's just used as a bit of flavor on a record that's cheerfully middle-of-the-road country: catchy but not too poppy; professional but not too labored; friendly but never pandering. Canyon doesn't yet have a distinctive on-record persona, but he's a friendly, ingratiating vocalist with good taste for engaging, if somewhat generic, material, and that makes this a good American introduction to this promising Canadian singer. It may not be a home run, but it's a straight-down-the-middle successful double. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

November 08, 2004: I expected a good CD from George Canyon but this far exceeded my expectations. It's outstanding! Most CD's have some fluff but there is not one weak song on this one. What sets country music apart from other genre's is the great story telling and every song on this CD tells a terrific story. They all bring out some emotion within the listener with some bringing you to tears, some making you want to roll down the windows and crank it up and some just make you feel good and treasure those you love. It's a perfect balance of songs in a variety of tempos. And through it all the importance of faith, family and music to George cannot be missed. And of course that unmistakable voice of his makes it perfect. It's a CD that can be appreciated by more than just country fans. Buy it; you won't be disappointed!
