“Thom Swift’s new record, The Legend of Roy Black, is a moving, powerful piece of work. The best songwriters are able to bare their soul in their songs. It’s impressive that after a long, distinguished musical career, Swift is still able to knock out a song like, “Simpler Times,” which is one of the best compositions he’s written and one of the best I’ve heard anywhere in some time. Raw, emotional, uplifting, honest. More fine work from one of Canada’s criminally undervalued gems.”
