Melancholy Storytelling from Tom Brosseau

February 18, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I can’t say that I’ve been too familiar with Tom Brosseau up until this point, but after listening to a great deal of his new work, I think I’m going to join in with the applause. He’s got a classic style to songwriting; it’s one that puts him next to old work of Kelley Stoltz and M. Ward. There’s a transparency in his narratives, but there’s also a sound that I recall hearing around my house as a young kid….later in my smoke-filled one-bedroom apartment. His new effort Perfect Abandon will find it’s way into the traditional American cannon when it’s released on March 3rd via Crossbill Records.

Singer-Songwriter Craftsmanship from Tom Brosseau

November 11, 2014 nathan.lankford

I always feel as if the weather dictates my listening patterns; I run heavy and fast through Spring and Summer, but tend to get a bit reflective as we move into the later Fall and early Winter months. It’s fitting that I bring you this Tom Brosseau track, with his bare-bones craftsmanship opening the doors to that cold front we’re supposed to be expecting come this weekend. Brosseau recorded his new album, Perfect Abandon, with a Stratocaster, up-right bass and a two-piece drum kit; it always amazes me how much can truly be done with so little. Look for the LP via Crossbill Records come February of next year.
