He's a Canadian icon, deservedly so. But I still can't listen to a whole song of his.
The songs are good but the studio versions tend to suck. That's why I've been relying on the vid I posted in the OP for a good old school STC fix. I thought that was the only film of that session but apparently not (see previous post).
Also that 30 minute vid I posted is supposedely a fraction of some longer vid/documentary that I'll have to seek out.
Anyhoo... I just love the simple sound/arrangement of just Tom, the bass dood (who's essentially playing percussion along with Tom's boot) and the guit dood who is just nailing my personal favorite style of country electric guit playing.
Also kind of reminds me of the Whoa Nellie! gigs I used to go and drunkenly cheer on and/or on one occasion sitting in on snare + brushes (and nothing else but a boot and a wooden stage).
...
okay... I'll go be nostalgic somehwere else...
but yeah, maybe that session will cure you of your STC aversion. If not then yeah... ole Tom probably just ain't your thing.
A thought however....
Your lady might appreciate the vid though. Get yerself some free hubby points. Ya?
