A modern-day troubadour, Wilf Carter was famous for his simple, straightforward singing and guitar style, and wrote several hundred songs known for their cowboy, hobo, and prairie imagery. Carter has long been acknowledged as the father of Canadian country music in Canada, a distinction based on his prominence as Canada’s first country star, his influence on Canadian performers, and the assistance he gave to the careers of others.
