Somewhere between the post-country-folk sound of Palace and the original country-folk sound of Merle Haggard lies New York's Leach. You know the subject: hearts, handguns, and highways. But with old-time country repetition the point, Leach's gravelly voic
Atlanta-bred TOM LEACH is a naturally gifted songwriter with a keen country- pop turn of phrase. His songs and performances are known for reaching out to hearts open and hurts in need of a good stomp. Though most label him "singer/songwriter", "alt-country", "americana", etc., any sampling of the hundreds of songs Tom has written prove him to be capable of much more than those tags bring to mind. Add to that a vocal range soaring from Cash- like lows to highs that move even the most jaded of listeners, and you'll understand the high praise he?s garnered from such diverse publications as MOJO and No Depression to the Village Voice and the Wall Street Journal. Tom's past releases include a self titled debut, a live ep, and a 7 inch collaboration with Vic Chesnutt and the Star Room Boys(all on Slow River/ Rykodisc).
