Editorial Reviews

From the muscular rock of LP opener 'Real Thing' and the swampy 'Ride' (featuring Ed Jurdi frm the Band of Heathens & blues rocker Guy Forsyth) to the reflective lyrical turns of 'Ready to Begin' and 'Weary Game', Gillam and longtime producer Joe Carroll, have crafted, what could be, 48 minutes of the perfect LP. Augmenting Tom Gillam's regular backing unit Tractor Pull are former Alejandro Escavedo band members Al Durham (guitar) ,Michael 'Cornbread' Trailor (Bass guitar) and drummer Vincente Rodriguez giving Had Enough? a decidedly more Texas feel. With extensive touring planned for both here in the US and Europe in the fall, Had Enough? looks to be Tom Gillam's strongest release ever.

This review is from: TOM GILLAM: HAD ENOUGH? (Audio CD)

"The edgier side of Americana coupled with a healthy dose of 70's guitar rock" is how one magazine described Tom Gillam's music and that's not too far off the mark.

Tom Gillam and his virtuoso band seem to channel Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Seger, Tom Petty and Lynard Skynard with a heavy does of their own style of aggressive alt-country rock. This album will make you shake your booty, reach for a long neck bottle of beer, and be overcome by the urge to start a road trip to Austin so you can see them live.
