It's been a while since we've heard new music from this talented group of Sloan-endorsed guys, so it's nice to hear that they haven't lost any of their groove, punch, or lyrical talent with their new song (available for FREE) "Tommy Douglas". Is this their way of stating their politics now that our country finds itself embroiled in another federal election? Is this just a history lesson? OK, it's probably both, with timely lyrics like "Give me Pierre Trudeau / to give me some confidence in confidence votes", and a youthful revolutionary spirit that is lacking in our current political climate. Tommy Douglas (as a member of the CCF and later the NDP) helped usher in Medicare, and Will Currie and the Country French have got the musical cure for what ails you.
