Tom More's Blog (7)

Everything about the album can be found at its site www.RestrungLefty.com/SelfEvidentTruths. The sound is a melodic prog with strong rock sensibilites and a couple of songs with clear jazz and blues influences. The topics all revolve around issues we face in our everyday lives and interactions with…
