PEL Presents NEM#205: Tom Heyman: Unreliable Narrator
Tom is best known as a steel guitar player who has guested with artists like Alejandro Escovedo, John Doe, and Sonny Smith. He started in the late '80s with the Philadelphia energetic alt-country band Go to Blazes. After five albums with them, he moved to San Francisco in 1997 and has since released six solo albums of Dylan-esque, lyrically driven folk-rock. We discuss "Desperate" from 24th Street Blues (2023), "Chickenhawks and Jesus Freaks" from That Cool Blue Feeling (2013), "Bloody Sam" by Go To Blazes from Any Time... Anywhere (1994), and listen to "Etch A Sketch" from Show Business, Baby (2017). Intro: A Waylon Jennings cover, "Brand New Goodbye Song" (2008). Hear more Nakedly Examined Music.
