Journey Home (Studio Album)
“Although some of the music deals with the harsher realities of life, there is always an element of optimism in the songs, and I couldn’t help but feel uplifted at the close of each one. Not only because of Tom’s wit and humor, but also the positive feeling that comes through in every note he sings. I was also impressed with the wisdom in the lyrics and felt like I was getting a lot more out of each song than just great music.”
“Listening to Journey Home, not only made me want to aspire to be a better songwriter, it also made me want to be a better person. When it comes to the power of music, you can’t do any better than that.” ~ John Fern, performing songwriter
