kreviazuk is neither the least known Canadian songwriter (who has been living in L.A., BTW) nor the most talented. I don't know who the least known is (because he/she is the least known), but the most talented is Feist. :) This is not to knock Chantal, I just bought Ghost STories on cutout. Sad to say the album obviously didn't sell well, the promotion for it being slight, it would seem, at least here in the US.

I love Grace Potter's album this year. Her album did make my top 10 list and as I am reading other people's lists, I am amazed that she is not being given as much attention and recognition as I believe that she deserves. Thank you for highlighting her.
