Post Description

First time I heard Tom Ovans’ "Gonna Be Missing You", I thought, “this must be the best Dylan’s song Bob Dylan never wrote”. It was easy to fall under the bloody damn “a new Bob Dylan” label, but it was just for a while. Tom Ovans is his own man, as I later discovered on a series of incredibile great albums, from the majestic Tales from the Underground to the recent, new and terrific Party Girl.
To quote Neil Young, Tom Ovans is “a lonely visitor”, from the days of the Greenwich Village to Nashville and now Austin, he is here to tell us the uncofortable truth: that life might be lonely, but there is always another match to strike. His music is the sound of a desperate blues, like Robert Johnson meeting Nick Drake. And more than that.
