north dakota impressions – Austin Town Hall

Another Great Ballad from Tom Brosseau

August 8, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ve really been stuck on a Tom Brosseau kick of late, expecting his forthcoming North Dakota Impressions to really catch on with the rest of you. I mean, just listen to this song and tell me you’re not in love with his voice; it’s got a faint little vocal quiver as he reaches for the loftier notes on the scale. This song doesn’t even need percussion, it’s that good; the entirety is carried by gentle guitar work, a contrasting guitar solo and Brosseau…that’s simply enough for me. Crossbill Records are releasing the new LP on September 16th.

Tom Brosseau Nods Towards North Dakota

July 12, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s two sides to this new track from Tom Brosseau: the music and the story. Musically, I think you’ll clearly see that Tom’s voice carries the track the moment it entered above the guitar; the arrangements behind his strumming aid the song’s emotional pull, but the voice wins. Still, I’m attached to the story or the soul of the song, with Brosseau admitting the track revolves around finding familiarity for home no matter where you are. As a traveler, it’s always nice to see a touch of home, especially when you’ve been gone for some time, like being on tour or living in a different country. It’s always nice to be home, or feel home, even if you’r not there. His new album, North Dakota Impressions, will leave its mark on you September 16th via Crossbill Records.
