Hobart Maclean

Country Beatles is a 1999 Beatles tribute CD by Dave MacLean & Montana Country. The entire disc features country renditions of Beatles songs, both known and not as much known. Erroneously, "I Want To Hold You Hand" is listed as "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "Blackbird" listed as "Black Bird" and "Help!" as "Help" without an exclamation point. These do not contribute anything to the audio. This was released in Brazil by ZAN/Brasidisc.

Soviet spy Donald MacLean and Tory cabinet minister Iain Macleod were both sons of the Hebrides, born in 1913, went to Cambridge University and both tried to change the world. Macleod implemented independence for the British colonies – but was hated by the Tory right. MacLean betrayed his country – but believed he worked for world peace. Cathy MacDonald reveals the forces that shaped these very different lives.

Tara MacLean is a singer, songwriter, and award winning recording and touring artist. From break-out pop hits (“If I Fall”) to country-crossover (“Happy Baby”) her style is reflective of her deep roots in Gospel and the Folk Music of her East Coast Canadian upbringing. She has been signed with Nettwerk, Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Capitol Records and EMI Canada (with her band Shaye). Her three solo albums were released to high acclaim, garnering extensive film and television placements, as well international touring and radio play.

Cam Maclean, one half of Montreal duo Vesuvio Solo, returns with his first solo LP, Wait for Love. The record drives forward the soft rock aesthetic honed on Vesuvio Solo’s last two releases, but with greater lyrical introspection and nods to disparate influences and genres. Featuring intricate guitar parts and an impressive falsetto, Maclean draws on personal experience to explore heartache, loss, contemporary masculinity and redemption.

Although Annie Marion MacLean, teacher, sociologist, and leader, gained international fame as an expert on working women’s issues, her significant contributions are overlooked by contemporary scholarship.
