About this episode
Latest from Spoken Label is Austin based American Folk Singer Tom Ovans.
www.folkradio.co.uk have recently described Tom's new album 'Crows in the Corn' "Sparse, raw and recorded in analog to a 4-track, his cracked, dry and dusty voice seasoned with life and time, at times evocative of Dylan at his early best, Crows in the Corn, is Tom Ovans 14th album and first in six years. An unfiltered classic of American folk-blues filled with dark stories of the road, of redemption, losers, survivors and ghosts that haunt, opening with just the voice, harmonica and guitar capturing a tribal rhythm for Going Back Home, a song that carries a contemporary resonance of alienation and exclusion with its line about “Going back home before they build that wall”.
Tom's music can be found at all of the usual places.
