A Note from Tom
October 4, 2008

Hi. Welcome, and come on in!

Well, I’ve gone and done it – finished up a new album. I’m hoping to have copies for you later this fall or early winter, though the official release on Appleseed won’t happen until early next year.

I recorded it in Nashville, with my old buddy Jim Rooney producing (co-author of Baby Let Me Follow You Down), and I must say that, as hard to please as I am, I really do like the results. It’s my first studio project in a long time (when I told Emmylou how long it had been, her retort was, “You should be ashamed of yourself!”), and it was a lot of fun to get back into that arena.

The Nashville players are a hardworking bunch. They show up at 10AM, work until 1, break for lunch, work 2 ‘til 5 and go home. It’s a lot like having a job (I would imagine). But … the way they play is truly joyful, and joy to hear.

Emmylou, Nanci Griffith, Bonnie Bramlett all came by and did some harmonies, and it was great to see them all again. (I hadn’t seen Bonnie since we were on the Festival Express train in ’70!)

Again, I’m not sure when the artwork will be done, what the title will be or the sequence of songs – though that last may be a bit irrelevant in this day of iPods and downloads. But, if you sign up for the mailing list, you’ll be the first to know. I think you’ll like this one!

"The Remember Song," can now be downloaded online from iTunes.
