Long Time Home from here (Catamount Records 2003)

More about "A long time home from here"

"Tom House's voice is haunted and haunting, twangy and reedy, half in and half out of this world, howling and incantatory. His songs are hypnotic-like ritualistic chants, bristling with train yard guitar, junkyard percussion, prison yard harmonica, and his graveyard voice. Beautifully ugly, magnetically repulsive and attractive, utterly distinctive".--RM (SingOut!)

Making My Peace * Child of God
* Dark Night of the Soul * Isadora * Papa's Dancing with his Daughter *  Daddy's Dark Eyes * Picking Up and Going *  Everything Changes * Jesus Didn't Die * Toss Your Partner * Love Be Gentle
