It’s been more than 30 years since John McLeod began blending his own inimitable technique of country blues – a style influenced by his roots. McLeod is a Northern Canadian Metis Indian from the Ojibwa tribe; he recalls the music that’s been around him all his life: “My heritage really comes into play in some of the songs which are spiritual and using the drumming and fiddling I grew up with.”
When an artist’s breakout track is titled, “I Like Trucks”, you’d probably expect him or her to be born with a knee-thumping country background – someone out of ol’ Tennessee; a Nashville native no doubt.
