"Stomp On Wood" is a compilation of 11 Ontario bands who present there individual take on Tom's Music. It would have been easy for the bands to duplicate what has already been done. But most bands chose to give the music a fresh edge. A highlight is the first track, "A Tribute To Tom Connors" by Bud Roberts, an old musician friend of Tom's. While not actually a song by Tom, it is delivered in all the true spirit complete with stompin'. The disc is full of variety including many styles and interpretations using Celtic, country, folk, grunge, ska and experimental.

Stompin' Tom is an icon and a pioneer in Canadian music. Like many of the musicians on this album, he paid for the manufacturing of his own records when he first started out and distributed them from the back of his car. He was an indie musician before the term was coined and respected. This album is a tribute to that spirit and dedication and a proof that it is still alive today. Tom's music is loved by people of all different ages and backgrounds in this country. It's popularity and influence has stretched far past the borders of country music. He is a forefather of all Canadian music and we thank and honour him for his contribution.
