PRESS Time Out: "Edgy, funky & visceral." Blues in London: "Seemingly without trying Tom Rodwell manages to eschew the cliches that beset a lot of blues music. By turns wild, angry, hypnotic and sensual, it's as uncompromising as it is funky and some of the best live music I've seen in a long time." Read the full review. Blues in Britain: "Psychotic gospel music." Sheffield Telegraph: "Punishing." Gigwise: "The most blistering one man set we've seen." Michael Pickett (Juno Award winner): "Real groove, no pretension, zero bullshit, that is rare it seems." BBC World Service, The Beat: "Been a while since anyone's heard a song quite like that." Some dude: "I thought it was gonna be slash your wrists shit, but you made me feel I was driving a Cadillac, man." ========== LIVE GIGS Tom is on tour with Storehouse in late 2007:
