Product Description
Amazon.ca
Not many rock singers would dare to look like stunned owls on the covers of their debut solo albums. But Tom Wilson, former front man for Hamilton band Junkhouse and one of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, dares just that on Tom Wilson's Planet Love. Not only does he let himself look pretty darn goofy, but the disc also matches the cover image with some looped tunes. For instance, song titles "Dig It" and "What a Bummer" and lines like "It freaks me out the thought of going through this life without you" indicate that daddy-o Wilson may have recently emerged from a time warp. The music is slightly hipper--the programmed drums, sampled sound effects, and funky, minimalist grooves of many of the tunes owe much to Beck. But Planet Love works best when Wilson stops trying to get the party started and simply chills. Then, on late-night melancholia like "Shine Your Star," "The Right Thing" (with backup vocals by Chantal Kreviazuk), and "Truth" (with the great line "The truth hurts more than the lie"), Wilson forsakes the half-growl/whisper and affected mannerisms of The Man from Planet Love long enough to touch down on Planet Earth. --Shawn Conner

I love Planet Love,

This review is from: Tom Wilsons Planet Love (Audio CD)
Tom Wilson is one of Canada's gems of music. Planet Love is just one example of his talent. Every song on this cd is catchy and they all rock! Like his collaborations on Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden)this solo venture just adds to his soon to be legend.

This review is from: Tom Wilsons Planet Love (Audio CD)
This CD takes me to a different place/mood instantly. It is without a doubt the best CD I've heard in years. All titles. It gives so much, and asks so little from me. What can I say.Can't wait to see him live, and look so forward to his next offering. A real gift.
