Mouton Music Canada

Tom Ryerson's label Mouton Music Canada was established in Canada on November 4th 1991 and was first mentioned in print on May 27th 1995 in Billboard Magazine when the Owen cassette single 'Slacker Anthem' was favorably reviewed. The label has also been recognized by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), the Government of Canada, and the National Library of Canada. Tom is also a voting member with the Juno Awards, Canada's equivalent of the American Grammy Awards. Tom has been a member of the Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) since September of 1993. On November 20th 2018 Mouton Music Canada signed a contract with SOCAN as a recognized publisher of popular music in Canada. (It only took 27 years to get to this point!)

Mouton Music Canada has been releasing Tom's music since February 8th 1992, but for this page we're only concerned with the 43 titles available for digital download and streaming which began on June 7th 2008 with the release of Cholera's CD 'Sky Skraping.' All digital releases will be presented on this page with the newest one first, working our way down ten years to the first one. On June 16th 2016 Mouton Music Canada boasted it's first artist outside of Tom's own music, that being the late Terry Sumsion.

Here's the list folks! CD Baby no longer sells digital CD's, so you'll have to purchase at i-Tunes, Amazon Music and Google Music. Please feel free to share this page with family, friends and associates.

The Fancy Dancers - Pagan Love Songs (Dec 12th 2008)

Take some nihilistic guitar work, add solid vocals, mix with a pounding beat and let simmer with brutally honest lyrics about relationships and life, and you have a recipe for a CD worth experiencing. This is the second Fancy Dancers CD, released in Canada on May 2 2008. The above release date is for the US release of this CD.  





Cholera - Sky Skraping (June 7th 2008)

Great for overnight radio, CBC's Brave New Waves, or when your life just falls apart. An excellent example of Canadian sound experimentation. This recording was originally called 'Pathological Profile' as performed by The Dead Puppies in 1986. The tape was re-cut and re-titled in 2017 as 'Experience The Malfunction'  and credited back to The Dead Puppies. These recordings have some serious history.
