CBC Hamilton's best song of all time competition is back with two of Hamilton's most beloved songwriting talents — Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and Rita Chiarelli.
With Hamilton as host city for the 2015 Juno Awards, we're looking for the best song by a Hamilton artist, and we're doing it with a no holds barred, single elimination, bracket-style online tournament.
Teenage Head beat out Junior Boys in Thursday's match up, and will be moving on to the next round.
Here are our next two contestants in the first round, and we want you to vote for your favourite. Voting for this match up closes at midnight Friday.
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings: Lean on Your Peers
Lean on Your Peers is one of the most anthemic songs ever written about Hamilton. It's just a few chords and a relatively simple melody punctuated by some great harmonies — but only Tom Wilson could so accurately sum up Hamilton singing about Frankie Venom, friends that passed on too soon and a drug dealer who set himself on fire before leaping out a window.
If there was ever a song written for walking down Locke Street on a summer's evening, this is it.
Rita Chiarelli: These Four Walls
Juno winner Rita Chiarelli sings the blues with an unbridled enthusiasm and power. The way she belts out These Four Walls is quite simply jaw dropping, and it showcases a rich voice with just the right amount of grit at its edges.
The song comes from Chiarelli's ambitious Music from the Big House project, a film in which she takes a pilgrimage to one of the birthplace's of the blues — Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary — which used to be the bloodiest prison in America.
Now it's up to you to choose – which is the better Hamilton song? Is it Blackie and the Rodeo King's hometown anthem, or is it Chiarelli's ode to Angola Prison? Vote in our poll:
