This weeks special guest on Time After Island Time is Tom Freund, the
critically hailed singer/songwriter who often accompanies himself on
standup bass as well as guitar and piano.
In the early `90s, Tom formed a duo with Ben Harper, which resulted
in an album entitled "Pleasure And Pain". Freund spent the mid-`90s
touring with the indie rock cult faves "The Silos". In 1998, he
released his debut album "North American Long Weekend" on Red Ant
label. The record received an avalanche of critical accolades, most
notably in The New York Times in which Ann Powers called it
an "unexpected gem" and ranked it #3 in her year-end best-of poll.
Freund is highly respected by his fellow musicians as well. Folk
chanteuse Victoria Williams calls Freund's 2000 disc L.A. Fundamental
Music (a soundtrack-oriented EP) "a classic."
Graham Parker added: ""Listening to "Sympatico", Tom Freund's second
solo release, I find myself just as impressed as I was after hearing
North American Long Weekend, his solo debut. His songs fill me with
an interesting mixture of yearning and melancholy that is somehow
thoroughly uplifting at the same time. I get shivers down my spine on
almost every tune. Along with Lucinda Williams, Freund is the best
singer/songwriter operating today."
Your host Paul Leslie caught up with Tom for a very in depth
interview after a recent performance at The Tabernacle in Atlanta,
Ga. Join us on Time After Island Time as we delve into the inspiring
and amazingly emotional music of Mr. Tom Freund.
