Tom 'n' Kathleen are writers of songs, rooted in what it is to be human, and that are, thereby, timeless. They'll be unearthed time and again like the work of great poets, novelists and playwrights to find a truer history of our mutual adventuring. Tom delivers with more gravitas and dignity than any performing today.

I have been a Tom fan since the 70's and I am sure that I can name no other singer who can so capably put across such complex emotions with only their voice. A dear old friend worked for the violinist, Itzhak Perlman and was a dedicated listener of classical music. One evening after dinner at our house I played a video from the 70's of Tom doing Tom Traubert's Blues. By the time it was done she was weeping and went the next day to buy some of his music. That is what I am talking about. This song is gorgeous and it could not be just so with anyone else singing it. Bravo.

One of my greatest regrets was missing the Glitter and Doom tour in Atlanta back around 2008. I was in Atlanta, but had a planned trip overseas which I wouldn't cancel. Turns out, Rolling Stone, NPR and others were there. It was said that night was his finest performance of his entire career. Said he performed songs nobody thought was possible outside a studio environment. Love his extremely rare talent and am glad I've been alive when he was here.

God damn do I feel like a princess right now! I was doing a rental turnover clean with my friend today and put on Bad As Me and feel deeply in love with you again, as I often do when I listen to your songs. Tom, you put out your first record the year I was born. I was introduced to you in 1988. I started singing and writing my own songs in the 90’s with a man who also loved you. This record was the beginning of a big chapter of music in my life when I joined a country band called Crooked County. We quoted this song often as a catch phrase, usually about getting through a hangover. When I got sober almost 11 years ago, it was a comfort that you were too. Thanks for the special access to this precious broken down version of a personal favorite. I don’t know how, but you have strings to my heart with your tunes. Much love to you and yours, Mr Chariot.
