GREAT CRUSADES, THE - DAMAGED GOODS
The Great Crusaders' songs tell stories of sadness, longing and clenched-fist optimism through blood-shot eyes and a halo of whiskey. They have drawn comparisons to such luminaries as Robbie Robertson, Nick Cave, Gallon Drunk, the Replacements and Tom Waits. |

HOUSE, TOM - THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS CHANGING
A self-described barroom singer, Tom's brutal, poetic lyrics are delivered with spare melodicism and a singular voice, and underpinned with subtle brilliance by his backing band (which includes the cream of Nashville's independent players and members of LAMBCHOP). |

Another dark, swirling masterwork, distilled from the strains of Appalachian music and beat poetry - when folks refer to Checkered Past as the "Fat Possum of White People", Tom House is the best of what they mean. |

OLD JOE CLARKS, THE - TOWN OF TEN
Haunting melodies, deep country soul, and songs with "an intimacy that only unlimited space can afford" are the hallmarks of the OLD JOE CLARKS, a young San Francisco (by way of rural Kansas) combo. |

WOMACK, TOMMY - POSITIVELY NA-NA
Uncommonly open-hearted and intelligent songwriting is Tommy's gift, and he wraps it in guitar-cranked arrangements or strips it down to its confessional, bare-acoustic bones. "A sound halfway between 'Sweet Virginia' Stones and 'Achin' To Be' Replacements." (No Depression) |
