MICHAEL TOMLISON
The Way Out West
MichaelTomlinson.com
I really shouldn’t have to… but because life is full of distractions and complications, I’m going to try and come up with just the right words to convince you of how good this new album is. THE WAY OUT WEST, Michael Tomlinson’s first full-band album in quite a few years, features the beautiful guitar work of Acoustic Alchemy’s Miles Gilderdale. This is signature Michael Tomlinson… rich, organic, soulful and uplifting, featuring elements of folk, pop and jazz. Now, to get more personal about it, I’ve loved Michael’s music since I first heard it in the seminal days of this format we now call “Smooth Jazz.” His robust voice and stirring lyrics have always resonated deeply with me, whether the subject is love and relationships or the warmth of summer giving way to Autumn’s chill. Michael’s music is one of the inspirations for my move to Seattle from California nearly ten years ago. THE WAY OUT WEST gets my highest recommendation. Simplify your life, and pick up your copy now! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
