Bennett was part of the 1970s folk music scene in Canada, alongside figures such as Bruce Cockburn , Stan Rogers and David Wiffen . His early albums were produced by David Essig ; the Recording Engineer for his 1977 album ''Hobo's Taunt'' was Daniel Lanois . While commonly regarded as a major talent, Bennett did not become as famous as his contemporaries until 1996 , when Stephen Fearing , Colin Linden and Tom Wilson formed Blackie And The Rodeo Kings , a Supergroup named for Bennett's 1978 album, to record a tribute album of Bennett's songs. Bennett's first subsequent album of new material, ''Heartstrings'', won a Juno Award for Best Folk Music Recording. Bennett also collaborates frequently with singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith .
