A stellar first CD -- blues rock to the bone
author: Peter MarshallTom's next CD will be even better. There's room for improvement -- a lapse here and there in intensity; a cliche that gets through now and then. But this is an extraordinary collection -- powerful, poetic, musically rich and satisfying, delivered with passion and talent. Tom has a great vocal range, and his heart and soul come through clearly -- he has the maturity and the confidence to let go, and let fly, and the vocal talents to carry it off. He's got an edge, yet each song has a hummable melody, and some great lines. He tells stories that ring true, he exposes some nerves, and you'll find that the songs stick in your head, and bear listening again and again, with new pleasures each time. Anyone who likes Neil Young, good ol' bluegrass, maybe a bit of Bryan Adams will enjoy this -- but Tom's no imitator: his style is mature and personal; he's dug deep, and embarked on a road that is only beginning.
