All the accolades and here we are. A new era of listeners getting the chance to hear the raspy soul of time lived and lived well, and I fell in love in the bath. I fell in love with the story, the art of painting a moment in words, carefully laid over a strategic set of instruments and time that gives us what we call a song.

But what is a song? We connect to music that lies in its own window in time What happens when time comes out of hiding and slaps us in the face with poetic justice of the word?

How is it even possible to create a moment that transcends generations, ages and connects to every emotional fiber in my body.

Tommy McLain’s melancholic way of shooting it to us straight while touching the strings we call life is, in a word, perfection.

Most recently, Tommy has blessed Australia and London, United Kingdom with his cajun style of pop. Keeping to his routes, Tommy mostly performs in the United States, primarily in Louisiana and Texas

Returning from their tour in Australia, Tommy and fellow musician C.C. Adcock felt an intimate return was appropriate Performing on June 25, the swamp pop musicians felt refreshed in the historic venue of Columns Hotel in New Orleans.

PROMOTING THE ALBUM HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND OF REJUVENATION FOR THE INSPIRATIONAL TOMMY MCLAIN.

Relevance- “ The quality or state of being closely connected or appropriate.”

The glamorous city of angels can impact you in many ways, but when he says,

How does he release an album 40 years later than his last gift to us, but yet resonates with a very broad bracket of listeners? That is the eternal magic of Tommy McLain and his story telling of reality in moments.

It started with California- As I spent most of my time as an adult living in California, Los Angeles to be exact, his poetry hit home. He shares heartbreak and blues but has somehow painted California as the woman he loved. “I've lived in motels, I've slept on beaches.. In California.” He instantly captures the loneliness of sitting on the strand, watching the waves pour over a sunset and forces you to take in the silence The moment of reflection

Somehow in this closing lyric, you feel hope. You are not alone on that strand of sand in the city of LaLa land… I will take that and smile. Thank you Tommy.

IRANDOWNEVERY DREAM…

“ I recall when time stood still, but now the clock is tickin’ ” This one lands on all the dreamers and the souls who can fall into themselves with wonder, regret, impulse, and the drive to do more- “I remember…” and blues… it is beautiful.
