Stompin' Tom Connors, legendary singer/songwriter and performer, just released a new CD entitled, THE BATTLE OF STOMPIN' TOM in October 2008. This CD contains an unbelievable collection of songs all written and sung by Tom. There are 16 songs on the CD and every song is as good as the other. Stompin' Tom displays on this album his finest work and his voice is very mellow and his style of singing is as good as when he was in his younger years. When listening to this album, you can't wait until the next one, as each one has a story and he writes about Canada.

Most of the songs on the CD are all radio playable, and there is no excuse whatsoever that these wonderful written songs can be avoided by radio. Tom is at his very best, and has assembled a group of talented musicians, to accompany him on the CD. Tom's style on two of the novelty songs namely, Chicken Pooh and Bush of Buctouche are masterpieces, and one cannot hold back the tears of laughter-totally unbelievable.
