Thread Name: New Album (2008): Tom Bliss - The Whisper
Subject: RE: New Album: Tom Bliss - The Whisper
Indeed Joe - Island Stories is a particularly fine CD and I'm glad you are enjoying it - probably still my favourite of Tom's but that, to some extent, is because it is a collection of some of his finest tracks around a theme with a couple of stunning new songs added for good measure. It is rarely that I go more than a couple of weeks without listening to it which I cannot say of many CD's - though I think Jez Lowe's new live one is going to be a serious contender.
I rather overdosed on 'The Whisper' when I first got it as I had a review to write in a fairly short timescale but it too has some absolutely stunning tracks which I am now returning to with great pleasure.
I believe there are many of us here in the UK that are just praying that Tom will keep up his writing and recording even if circumstances sadly seem to insist that his touring days may be coming to a end.
Looks like that's another pint Tom owes me! But also Joe we all owe you and your colleagues a beer for the great work you do in keeping our community together and giving an opportunity to hear new things we may not have come across otherwise. Afraid it may have to be a virtual one though!
