tom pullin

I've had the priviledge of hearing Tom perform live and on CD. I can only say that I am amazed by the synthesis of lyric,melody,harmonization and arrangement he incorporates into his music. Tom is an artist who definitely deserves a broader audience. In a society where we have removed ourselves from a close relationship with nature and from face to face social interaction,Tom's music reaches into our hearts and souls-reminding us of lost priorities-love and the people in our lives who matter more than anything else. - Brian O'Sullivan

I have listened to Tom Pullin's CD quite a bit lately.It's hard to put our finger on his influences,but I sense a strong 70's&80's genre with some throwbacks into the late 60's.Tom's style certainly suits our listening preferences as our collection includes a rather-ecclectic mix of James Taylor,The Band,The Doobie bros. to The Chieftans.Tom's stuff fits right in with Nora Jones and Jack Johnson.I particularly like the fact that it is not easy to pigeon-hole Tom's work.It smacks of soft-rock but the guitar mechanics are usually cleaner and stronger & the lyrics tell a story rather than focusing on a societal response.Tom's songs do not reflect the musings of an angry young writer,but rather the experiences of someone who has been around the block a few times.Good luck in your endeavours! - Keith Eady
