Synopsis

Product Description
When Tom Faulkner released his debut CD, Lost in the Land of Texico, an image was born that painted a musical and lyrical picture of a place where listeners longed to go to again and again. It is truly a soulful experience to Get Lost ... And now, with the completion of Faulkner's second CD, Raise The Roof, the journey evolves, moving the listener to an even deeper and richer place. Like Texico, Raise the Roof is explosive at times, yet gentle at others. The sounds and the stories are vintage Faulkner, taking the listener farther down a wonderfully familiar road, but with powerful new twists and turns that leave you, once again, longing for more. Faulkner's musical acumen even caught the attention of New Orleans' legendary Dr. John, who joined Tom to sing Blues Across America, a rocking tribute to the heritage of American blues. Raise the Roof is sure to impact existing fans, as well as invite new ones.

CD Reviews

An under appreciated gem. It's money well spent.
Coleman A. Kavanagh | Nampa, Idaho, USA | 07/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Faulkner starts you at a raucous New Orleans street parade, careens through drug wars in "Chula Town", then drives through Memphis for a blues session with "Dr. John" & James Govan. What a tour de force! The machine gun tempo of "Too Much TV" is matched by it's hilarious lyrics. Faulkner is a masterful composer, a title that most modern "singer-song writers" cannot legitimately claim. His accoustic pallet mixes electric and slide guitar, brass, accordian, accoustic guitar, & killer percussion. Excellent stuff. The final "Vaya con Dios" is breath-takingly fresh, reminding us of what is truly important in life. What power! It's nothing less than an rock anthem of the Southwest."
