}}"Bud the Spud" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriting Stompin' Tom Connors. The song is an account of a trucker who hauls potatoes from Prince Edward Island,[1] Connors' home province.[2]

History

"Bud the Spud" was released in 1969 on Connors' album Bud The Spud and Other Favourites.[3] It was written about his truck-driving friend, Bud Roberts.[4] Connors crisscrossed Canada, performing it along with his many other songs about Canada, at first in small venues.[2] In this way the song became known through word-of-mouth as well as through radio airplay on CBC Radio.[5]

The song was turned into an illustrated children's book in 1994 featuring Bud the truck driver, and his dog.[6][7]

The song was made available digitally for the first time on Canada Day in 2008.[8]

Popular culture

In 2008 "Bud the Spud" was the first song played on the new Spud Radio station in Pemberton, Ontario.[9]

In 2013 a group of New Democrat Members of Parliament performed the song in the Canadian Parliament Building on their way to Question Period.[10]

Chart performance

"Bud the Spud" peaked at number 26 on the RPM Country Tracks chart on February 28, 1970.[11]
