Track ten,” I Walk The Line,” I was wondering if this was in the cards for us on this
release. Thankfully it is and it’s great. Tom really has a knack and understanding of
Johnny Cash’s voice and music and it really shows. The guitar work is true to the
original and I could listen to this version of this classic all day and I implore you to do the
same. If you haven’t bought this music yet, then what are you waiting for?!
Track eleven, “Sangria” is a much different tune than what we’ve seen on the rest of this
album but it’s a good sort of different that adds variety. Tom proves that he cannot only
sing classic rock and country but he can add a contemporary vibe, proving his versatility
as a vocalist. Great tune but could have used more lead guitar somewhere, maybe in the
intro or as a solo (but then again, I’m biased because I’m a guitarist and I love guitar – so
judge for yourself – BUY THE ALBUM ALREADY).
Track 12 is an honest thank you from Tom to
us. I think it’s awesome he decided to add this
thank you section because it is important to
remember those who have influenced us
musically. Not only does Tom thank his
influences, but also he gives some love to Gar
Francis and Bongo Boy Records. How cool is
that?
If you haven’t bought this album yet, do me a
favor and get a copy. You’ll thank me later.
