This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Musical trends come and go — hell, whole musical genres come and go — but Stompin’ Tom Connors is eternal.
Frankly, I have no idea how many albums he’s put out over the years (and I suspect he might not either). But in a way, it doesn’t matter. Every tune he’s written, every show he’s played, every album he’s issued, they’re all part of one grand work: Tom’s never-ending song of Canada. And Move Along fits in just fine — it’s got the acoustic two-step party numbers (Dominoes and Dice), the tunes about our land (Confederation Bridge, Long Gone To The Yukon), and the oddball characters (Big Joe Mufferaw). Best of all, it’s got the unmistakable sound of Dr. Tom’s boot-heel whacking away on one of his legendary stompin’ boards. What could be more Canadian than that?
