Tommy Cox

"Big Black Submarine" is the signature song of the first Tommy Cox CD "Take Her Deep" first recorded in 1978, as an LP Album. "Take Her Deep" gave birth to an entire genre of music about the Submarine Service. Three more Tommy Cox CDs have followed. Although Tommy's music is about the Submarine Service, it is also, about Tommy's incredible musical and vocal talents, which he has chosen to dedicate to the "unsung heroes" of the US Submarine Service. Tommy's full BIO, including the many submarines he served aboard, is available on his webpage. With "Take Her Deep" Tommy Cox takes you on a musical adventure, offering you the unique opportunity to ride along with America's Submarine Force "where no other human being can be found."
