About Me


(From The Record, by Colin Hunter, Aug. 14, 2008)"According to the liner notes, the album, titled Devils, Do-Gooders and Me, has only nine songs. Not true. The tenth song, the unnamed phantom track, is the highlight.There is, however, a perfectly good reason why Stokholm opted not to include the song in the track listing on the album jacket: The chorus of the song (and presumably its title too) is: "Go F*** Yourself."A tad crude, considering the rest of the album is made up of introspective, quirky and comparatively mild-mannered songs.But despite the hidden song's raunchy title and lyrics, it contains a verse that nicely encapsulates the rest of the album:"I'm not country enough for the sh**-kickin' crowd, and folkies think I'm way too loud."He might have a point there.He's not quite country, not quite pop, not quite folk, not quite anything, with a bit of everything.A passable, albeit clunky, descriptor for Stokholm's sound might be garage-roots-folk-rock-alt-country-psyche-pop.Stokholm is one of those rare artists whose influences are instantly recognizable -- Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash, Stompin' Tom Connors -- yet he doesn't sound quite like any of them.Stokholm has a sound and a style uniquely his own, which makes his debut disc an adventurous and satisfying listen that finishes on a high/vulgar note."

Where to start about this one?  The song received the least adornment in the studio, though it had Jamie (my producer) pulling out his hair for a bunch of reasons.  I was never fully sure ab...
