"CD Review:"

Tom Kozlowski writes in his bio, "Although 'Between Two Fires' is Tom Kozlowski's first formal release, it is by no means his first colllection of songs. He has many songs in his catalogue..." It's amazing, because this album alone has 17 tracks, a testament to him being a prolific writer. Tom Kozlowski's album "Between Two Fires" is a mix of great stories, metaphors of life, love and all interwoven musical groove and guitar laden rhythms.
"Jagged Edge", his opening track, reminds me of an Eagle song, or even John Mellencamp. A catchy hook and nice rhythms, it's the perfect opening to the album. "Like a Pearl" has a lovely feel, and is somewhat sentimental and melancholy, which Tom's voice (quite sensitive yet strong) tells a woven and interesting story. Very McCartney-like in his story telling and melodies. Tom is from Ohio, and you can tell he has a sound that would captivate the the middle American audience, with echoes of roots, Americana, and rock. I really enjoyed "Hunger" for it's sensitivity in the music and his crisp, well done backing vocals. The electric guitar solo is not too intrusive and along with with the percussion and acoustic guitars, the laid back groove is easy to listen to. By track 4, "Never the Same Love Twice", Tom makes a departure into a blues jam and a bluesy story with a hook that is easy to sing along to.
All in all, Tom is a talented songwriter and his collection of songs in "Between Two Fires" speaks of truth, good stories, nice laid back rhythms and a really excellent voice. A real pleasure to listen to.

Bio

Tom Kozlowski is a singer/songwriter currently living in central Ohio with his wife

Carey, two cats, and five guitars. He is a self-taught musician, writing songs since he was

ten years old, though in recent years he has studied formal composition and guitar with

central Ohio composer Richard Smoot. His influences have been many,

and range from folk to rock to classical music. The themes of his songs

include world events, as well as spirituality, and the “inner space”

we all share. He loves to read poetry and is a big fan of Flannery O’Connor’s

short stories. His idea of the perfect day(aside from writing a new song)

is a hike in the Rocky Mountains with Carey, where once, on such a hike, they were

visited by a raven on the trail for the better part of an hour, and he took that to mean an

omen of good things to come. He believes it’s best for his songs to speak for themselves,

because, he says, revealing too many secrets, will, in the words of a native American

shaman “diminish the power of one’s magic”.

Tom plays primarily in smaller, intimate venues, such as coffee houses,

parties, and small clubs.

Though he is not outspoken on the subject of politics, Tom hopes the next few years

will see new leadership in the USA and the world, statesmen who will stand for social

justice and stand against unnecessary aggression to solve our problems.

Although “Between Two Fires” is Tom Kozlowski’s first formal release, it is by no means

his first collection of songs. He has many songs in his catalogue, and future releases will

certainly be forthcoming.
