CD Reviews

Take this seriously, seriously

03/10/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Ostensibly country and western, Stompin' Tom belongs more rightly to the binomial "metropolitan and hinterland", the urban vs. small town axis that marks the Canadian landscape. Stompin' Tom (the name comes from his literal big foot stomping while playing guitar, made famous in the 70's) writes extraordinarily funny songs rich in ultra-local colour and disarming simplicity, which makes some wonder if this guy's serious. So much so that he stopped playing altogether for some 15 years because "people don't take me seriously", dedicating himself to producting and other such stuff. Popular acclaim has drawn him somewhat back to his pale limelight. For music buffs the closest American reference would be Jonathan Richman (as with Richman, it really doesn't matter which CD you listen to). One of those quirky Canadian thangs that Americans occasionally (like Moosehead -remember?- beer) get a taste for."
