Tamarack draws heavily on traditional themes, from their début track ''Tamarack'' on ''Music of Canada'' through such songs as ''Mining for Gold'' and many jigs and the occasional polka in between. The history and geography of Canada are also popular inspirations. ''Frobisher Bay'' and its title track Frozen in Frobisher Bay are named after an bay on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. ''Leaving Inverarden'' starts with two stories taken from the history of the fur-trading North West Company in Canada;〔 the title track ''Leaving Invergarden'' based on the story of John MacDonald, and the track ''Magdalen McGillivray'' about his sister who married William McGillivray. A number of Tamarack songs have been covered by other artists. Mining for Gold, written by James Gordon based on a traditional theme, was on the Cowboy Junkies breakthrough album The Trinity Session.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session )〕 (Early Tamarack member Jeff Bird has done instrumental work on many Cowboy Junkies albums). Folk singer Laura Smith included the ''Leaving Inverarden'' song ''Magdalen McGillivray'' on her 2012 album ''Everything is Moving''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://borealisrecords.com/products-page/laura-smith/everything-is-moving/ )〕 == Discography == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamarack (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
