Press Reviews "The melodic grandeur of Tom's peculiar melancholia on five Years Later holds a striking resemblance to Nick Drake--from the touching beauty of his voice to the textured and engaging string arrangements that pop up on occasion...," "His calm, melodic processions of rich, eerie folk are very vulnerable, very pure, and painfully emotional."-Skyscraper Fanzine"Perhaps something like an acoustical and solo version of This Mortal Coil"-ink 19"This is truly a beautiful acoustic album of heartfelt ballads, not to be listened to every day or in every situation, but one to be cherished."-Delusions of Adequacy(on-line zine)
