The album, title "A Walk In Other Shoes" takes a look at Tom's songs written from the perspective of his Christian faith. It also includes "A Dream of John Ball" in three parts which was a project he never completed. This album will complete Tom's music legacy and is hopefully to be released in a month or two.

I saw Tom perform numerous times at Les Cousins in the early 1970s. The songs on this CD are from a later period of his life but are very similar to the ones I heard then. The lyrics are thought-provoking and deep, and the music can be hauntingly beautiful at times. Well worth a listen!Moraghnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713948124674580839.post-76437043874910903702013-01-04T01:54:15.960-08:002013-01-04T01:54:15.960-08:00Many thanks for this review Tony.

It's not far from the beautiful Pennines and the Bronte Country.<br /><br />Tom Yates knew some famous singers and song writers in his youth such as Paul Simon and David Bowie. He never became famous himself but his recorded legacy shows he had talent. Mike Billington, one of the directors of EPONA RECORDS, is a great friend of mine so I thought I would write a review for him and post it.

And Rochdale is near the village where my maternal grandfather's family lived throughout The Industrial Revolution, Walsden. Speaking of music, I started taking piano lessons from my husband a week ago. Jean | Delightful Repasthttp://delightfulrepast.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
