Tom Glynn - Living Proof
I always like a good songwriter. Call me biased, but if you don’t have a good song to start out with, it’s like trying to construct a house on coffee grounds. You have to have a strong foundation to build on. Living Proof is a ten-song set raised on a firm base. It reminded me of those great 70’s singer/songwriter albums I would find in my parents’ record collection as a kid. A swell mix between songs focused on guitar and those on piano, and a good mellow listen on the whole. Hailing from Boston, it’s no surprise that his voice is reminiscent of James Taylor, but I was also reminded of Matthew Sweet as well. Some musicians master a certain genre; some acquire extraordinary technique on their chosen instrument. Others are just solid songwriters, and Mr. Glynn is one of those cats.
