Review: John K. Samson

John K. Samson is from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

You may recall him from acts such as Propagandhi and The Weakerthans.

I was unaware that Samson recently had relaunched a solo career with an album this year, until yesterday.

I picked up "Provincial" immediately to find out what the former Propagandhi bassist was up to.
Turns out, it's nothing like Propagandhi.

Among the tracks is one song dedicated to a local minor league hockey player. Typical Canadian songwriting, right?

Well, it's an interesting mix of tunes throughout the "CD" -- remember CDs?

Check it out -- this may be my favorite track so far:
