Hamilton, ON blues-rock mainstay Tom Wilson has captivated Canadian
music fans with his work in Junkhouse and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings,
though at the moment, he’s switched his focus back to his Lee Harvey
Osmond project.Produced by Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) at his Toronto studio, the
new record largely places emphasis on Wilson’s singing. A press release
describes his voice as “a warm hand to the forehead, an arm on the arm
of the stricken, a comforting growl at the heart of a screaming world.”
Despite the prominence of Wilson’s baritone croons, there’s also
noteworthy backing instrumentation that comes in the form of “swooning
horns” and “guitars that bob and weave.” Wilson leads the listener on a
sonic journey.
