notes
Tom Wilson is a singer/songwriter from Alabama now living northeast Georgia. His music combines folk, country, rock, and soul -- a sound that's been labeled Alt-Country, Americana, or, in his own words, "Folk-Rock with a Southern accent." He is a poet of the ordinary, drawing inspiration from songwriters like Steve Earle, John Prine, and Bruce Springsteen. The focus of his songs is squarely on the lyrics -- poetic, wry, and often extremely honest -- backed by acoustic guitar that is by turns spare and churning.
His self-produced debut album, "Native Soil," draws heavily on his Southern roots, memories of small town life, and a longing for home. The album was recorded in a studio in Montgomery, Alabama, in just 3 days, a pace that helped him achieve -- and, in fact, necessitated -- the organic, spacious, bare-bones production he was looking for. Backed by a number of veteran musicians (including his father, Tommy Wilson, Sr., on Hammond B3 organ), he describes the resulting sound as "singer/songwriter meets honky-tonk houseband."
