Havelock - It was an indelibly magic moment shared by thousands of music fans at this year’s Havelock Country Jamboree.

The appearance of Canadian music icons Gordon Lightfoot and Ronnie Hawkins together on stage with The Good Brothers singing a rousing version of Lightfoot’s classic Alberta Bound was one of the most impressive and emotionally charged moments in the storied 26-year history of the mammoth four-day festival.

Two legendary performers–one the greatest songwriters this country has ever produced and the other a transplanted American who brought rock ’n’ roll fun to Canada and stayed, prospered and broke down barriers for young Canadian musicians who followed–on stage together in Havelock.

Lightfoot, Hawkins and The Good Brothers singing Alberta Bound is one of those “I was there” events everyone hopes to experience but seldom do but at this year in Havelock the music gods were graciously obliging.

It would be hard to top last year’s 25th anniversary party but this year’s Jamboree came close with over 70,000 fans finding their way to Havelock for a variety-laced program that included everything from the funkified craziness of Big and Rich and Cowboy Troy and their spinmeister friend DJ Sinister and classic country of Clint Black to Canada’s next great country stars Gord Bamford and Brett Kissel and stunning new talents of rising Canadian performers like Autumn Hill, Cold Creek County and Wes Mack.

Country legend Tanya Tucker delivered a robust and well-appreciated set with a voice as strong as it was when she was 13 years old and belting out Delta Dawn while Canadian Corb Lund, following in the tradition of Lightfoot and Stompin’ Tom, proved you can achieve success writing about quintessential Canadian things like cattle and mountains if you have the chops to do it–and he does.

John Cafferty brought a little Springsteen-like soul from the Jersey boardwalks; Jason D. Williams was the next best thing to Jerry Lee Lewis and bluegrass superstar Rhonda Vincent shimmered on Sunday.

In all 28 acts hit the big new twin stages bringing their love of music north to Havelock.

None were better or more loved than Gordon Lightfoot and Ronnie Hawkins.
