Description:
It`s been four years since Tommy Womack`s last solo release, which was also the year he suffered a nervous breakdown and after twenty-some years of performing had to re-enter the 8-5 work force. The street smart, literate post punk rocker/songwriter thought he was out of the music business and the business was through with him. However, the songs did not give up on Tommy Womack and he has returned with the career-defining record, There, I Said It.What began as a catharsis for the discerning songwriter, resulted in the personal There, I Said It!. Produced by John Deaderick, (keyboard playing and producer known for his work with The Dixie Chicks and Patty Griffin), the songs deal almost exclusively with the intersection of family responsibility and the ups and downs of a life making music. Tommy`s wit and wryness are now balanced with an heartbreaking honesty of life`s small, good and perfect things and yet many of the songs are still wrapped in the spirit and take risk attitude of the best in rock `n roll. The new songs still hook the listener with rhyme and his psycoactive mix of Dave Davies and Hubert Sumlin guitar playing, but Tommy`s heart of gold has been laid bare. (Cedar Creek Music)
