"Tom's songs are fine songs in anyone's book" Uncut

Of his forthcoming album ‘Comedians & Angels’ Tom says,

“The album is made of songs of love. I am about to turn 70 and I find that my definition of love songs is broader than I once would have found it to be. Still, there is love in them all.

Love songs, songs of remembrance and regret, even a hymn. Songs of love real or merely imagined are featured. Who can say which are the real and which the imagined? My own opinion can change nightly.

What would I do that could bring me more satisfaction than to explore love like this.”

"Tom's songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them,
whistling them and singing a verse to a friend." Pete Seeger
