Tom Heyman

Tom Heyman's sophomore album is steeped in heartfelt heartland narratives that recall Mickey Newbury's melancholic Frisco Mabel Joy. The title track layers lush strings with some of the twangiest wah-wah guitar since Led Zeppelin's "Tangerine," but Heyman's voice is the most versatile instrument, effortlessly segueing between whispered hushes and a throaty rasp.
