More than just about earning five gold albums, three Junos, and 19 Top Ten records, George Fox tells a fascinating story that begins growing up on a ranch in the foothills of Alberta. His journey brings to life plenty of characters that engage and entertain, giving a sense of how it all happened for George—singing and strumming songs that would one day place him in front of millions and take him around the world. He has plenty of insight and reflections from rural Alberta and onward down to Nashville, where he worked with Music Row influencers and players of that era. It all comes to life in recollections and anecdotes, along with heartwarming and emotional moments of faith, loss, and challenges on his way to success.

Within these pages it’s revealed how the “Trail of the Fox” originated as a slow-moving path leading from the back porch of the farmhouse down to the henhouse.

“Where I picked eggs, and fed the chickens.”

Spurred on by the huge heart of the rural ranch community and his self financed record debut, suddenly, that path became the fast lane leading George to an illustrious career in music, and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

A time during the history of Cochrane and the foothills of Alberta that held a different pace and tone and some mysteries of the music business revealed, through a trip down “George Fox Trail.”
