Tom's Country View

"Thank you to ... the musicians who played on this record, my goodness, y’all have helped me find what Bell Bottom Country even sounds like. I wrote 300 songs during the pandemic. A lot of folks have shared with me that this album has changed their life, but the truth is, writing these songs for this album saved mine." (Lainey Wilson / ACM Awards [Album of the Year], Mai 11, 2023)

"Maybe it’s the realisation that music is a fulfilling creative outlet, but it doesn’t tell you good night as the moon settles into the sky. While often an equally dynamic duo, sometimes music is the master and the music creator is its submissive and 'The Guitar Slinger' masterfully shows this relationship through its lyrics." (Shelia Taylor / amplifythenoise.com, April 30, 2023)

"You neglect friendships, relationships, because I am so maniacal about making this [music] thing go, it’s been my only mistress. It’s been all-encompassing for me, and I haven’t been able to find that balance and I don’t know how to find that balance. So that’s where it becomes what that song is, where I’m like, ‘I want to run away but I love it so much I can’t.’" (Kip Moore / americansongwriter.com, April 28, 2023)

"In college I majored in screenwriting. Everyone in that class... I would love it if they saw this. They were so pretentious. I'm not a big shit talker, but if your dad wasn't a high level executive in LA they wouldn't care to talk to you. My dad was a small business owner and my mom's a school teacher. I didn't fit in."   (Palmer Anthony / upstarmusiconline.com, January 3, 2022)
