Sampson has also recorded three more solo albums since his 1998 debut. His second CD, "Sunburn" (2004), was largely written in partnership with Troy Verges and Blair Daly. Sampson produced the CD and played the majority of the instruments on the album, including guitars, bass, drums and piano. The album was recorded at Lakewind Sound Studios, as well as in studios in Toronto and Nashville. "For The Few And Far Between" was released in 2008; it was nominated for a 2009 Juno Award and was the recipient of two East Coast Music Awards. "Almost Beautiful" came out in 2011, and is the first solo album of his move away from the rootsy pop music of his previous releases and towards the kind of country music he has been writing for others for many years.
