Over the course of a career that now spans three decades, Tom Wilson has put together a body of work impressive in both quantity and quality. Beat Music, his first full album, was recorded in 1986 with The Florida Razors, a popular band on the Hamilton scene. Tom struck Canadian rock gold in the ‘90s as the leader of the much loved Junkhouse, and then found a whole new audience as a crucial component of roots-rock super-group Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, with whom he now shares a label home in True North Records. He found time to release a solo debut, Planet Love, in 2001, while last year’s collaboration with Bob Lanois, The Shack Recordings, Vol. 1., was critically acclaimed.

Wilson is now in top form, personally and creatively. As he explains with typical candour, “For years I was in love with music and in love with a lot of my life, but I was completely destructive. In the last little while, I have been productive, and I am figuring out how to be happy.” That is reflected in the optimistic and positive spirit of many of the tunes on DOG YEARS, while others prove his ability as a storyteller and social satirist remains undiminished.
