Tom McRae

acoustic rock // singer-songwriter

Brit Tom McRae has a way with music. Critics lauded his 2001 self-titled release and it earned him a Mercury prize nomination. Many suggest comparisions to Nick Drake and early Dylan aren’t such a stretch. It’s his warm and homey while intimately gloomy mood that creates such a stir. His blisteringly bare vocals create a vocal line that slowly wraps around you like a smile. His quiet guitar strumming provides the pillow for your wondering head to crash down on.
It’s the soundtrack to your 3am drive away from that girl you can’t not like.

    Excellent choice ! His concerts are just amazing, the guy is so intense …
    The second album is less interesting though. It lacks the simple and straight strenght of the first one.
