Tom Yarbrough
Tom Yarbrough’s debut album is available now on itunes and other outlets, including hi resolution downloads from the Tone Box Digital store.
Tom Yarbrough is an obscure but powerful musical force. With a heartfelt approach that somehow avoids stereotypical “Music City” commerciality, Yarbrough crafts sincere and insightful love songs which often defy categorization. From his hideaway in South Nashville, amidst the sound of freight trains and Norteno music, he has quietly finished recording the songs that will make up his debut record. The sounds are, at the same time, both familiar and peculiar. Traditional acoustic guitar and vocal arrangements are supported by drums, foot stomping, hand percussion, grinding electric guitar feedback and reverb drenched mandolins. Lyrics about the pains of past relationships are countered by songs of devotion so intense that most would call it borderline obsessive. Running through the center of it all is that worn but willing voice and the ageless spirit of the song.
