"Does anyone know who this guy is? Ok, I was looking at the new John Doe album- I'm a Doe fan, and I came across Tom Brosseau. What luck. John Doe has a little note up about Tom Brosseau. I click on the link and listen to his music. I have ordered the album. I absolutely love it! What songs? The first track, " west of town " is my favorite. He sings about the 1997 flood of the great valleyland. I remember hearing about it- always wondered about it. I also like " that's when your heartaches begin " and " in my time of dying ". I recommed this album to everyone. It's a great listen all the way thru! 5 out of 5 stars."
What I mean to say is goodbye

"I found this album by listening to KEXP. I have been listening to it ever since- fantastic album! Favorite songs: west of town, unfamiliar places, tonight I'm careful with you. I have told all my friends about Tom Brosseau, who I consider to be the best songwriter I have heard in recent times. I was at Loveless Records' website, found out [Brosseau] is a thro-back to Porter, George and Ira, Kerne. I am glad there are still people out there that care! 5 stars all the way."
Wow

"I saw this guy last week in Eugene Oregon, opening for Brandi Carlile. This guy's voice sent chills through my spine and all the while I thought to myself "What I would give to sing like that". He's shy yet so funny on stage and his voice is seriously immaculate. I'm on my way to order a copy, but I could not wait to review Tom as an artist and a performer."
Check his whole catalogue

"a teller of small tales -- meaning one line can floor you and fill a book of imagery -- with a voice that will baffle you -- there are times when I listen to this and think I'm listening to my 10-year old nephew -- a singer and songwriter under his own hanging lightbulb.
