Songs With Nationalities In The Titles, Vol. 1


This latest music miniseries was suggested by my friend, Daniel Entzminger – and a great idea it was, too. Each song in this series features a nationality (or demonym, if you will) in its title. First up, we have a collection of "Canadian," "Mexican," "Irish," "English," "Greek," and "Spanish" songs. Some really good stuff here, both newer and older – I'm sure you will enjoy!  ~  JH
