The CanCon Catalogue

What's to say? If you've listened to Hawksley Workman lately, you know that he's one of the best (and most prolific) singer-songwriters in Canada, putting out two albums last year alone, one focused on pop and ballads and the other more dance-rock. If you haven't listened to him lately, you probably think of him as the guy who did "Striptease," and "Jealous of Your Cigarette" and not much else. Well, back then he had moments of greatness, but was somewhat inconsistent. Since then, well, he still has moments of inconsistency, but they are far fewer and far between, and the greatness is, well, greater. If you wrote him off before, it's time to take a second look.

Hawksley Workman plays tonight at the Royal McPherson theatre. Tickets and details here.
