Passing Through

King Storm is the second track from our forthcoming album, Tricks of the Trade, which will be released on January 21st and features Tom Dennis on flugelhorn.

This is a lullaby for Dave’s niece, Amy Grace Clayton, to be sung when the Aberdeenshire weather is inclement. This started life as a broadside found in the Frank Kidson Manuscript Collection. The original text portrays King Storm as the embittered bringer of bad weather. Dave felt he was misunderstood.

Miles To Go

Clouds are getting tall
Clouds are getting tall
Rain is going to fall
Rain is going to fall

Clouds are getting tall
Clouds are getting tall
Rain is going to fall
Rain is going to fall

Searching for you on a woodland road
Searching for you on a road through the woods
Calling your name into an indigo frame
Calling your name then you came

Out from the blue again,
Indigo hue again,
And I was just dancing your tune my friend

Hang me out to dry,
Hang me out to dry,
All those memories on a line

Hang me out to dry,
Hang me out to dry,
All those memories on a line

People come and go, so I am told
People come and go, so I am told
Calling your name into an indigo frame
Calling your name then you came

Out from the blue again,
Indigo hue again,
And I was just dancing your tune my friend

Searching my soul for memory
Calling but nobody came
Between my mind and the fabric of time
Into an indigo frame

Searching my soul for memory
Calling but nobody came
Between my mind and the fabric of time
Into an indigo frame

Indigo Hue

Taken from the forthcoming album' Headlong', released May 19th 2017.

TOM ARMSTRONG - THE SKY IS AN EMPTY EYE
Available Apr 14, 2017 on Tompkins Square
Rare Private-Press LP reissued for the first time on LP/CD/digital

ORDER LP/CD : tompkinssquare.com

Tompkins Square's recent double-LP, Imaginational Anthem vol. 8 : The Private Press, shed light on forgotten, impossibly rare guitar recordings spanning several decades. Tom Armstrong's The Sky Is An Empty Eye is the first of several reissues planned by Tompkins Square of full albums by artists featured on IA8. 
 
Armstrong's self-released LP from 1987 sports blissed out acoustic numbers like the one featured on IA8, along with some electric workouts and even a deep psych vocal tune.

** Tom will play a few tunes and sign records at Good Records, 1808 Lower Greenville Ave., Dallas TX on Thursday, May 18th, 8pm **

In his own words, today :

I was born in Elmhurst IL, lived there 29 years.  Had a brief career playing open mikes and bars for tips, drinks and nominal cash payments, even gave some guitar lessons.

In 1984 I was offered a half partnership in an engineering firm in Dallas, so I moved to Texas.  Made a big pile of money.  My wife bought me a Tascam 4 track recorder for my birthday, I went crazy with it.  Recorded a bunch of melodies that had been rattling around my brain since I was 8 years old.  Liked what I heard, decided to make an LP.

It wasn't too hard to track down a studio to master my 4 tracks.  By this time I was an old hand at graphic design for promotional material, so I designed the cover myself.  

Handed the albums out to business associates, as promotional material for other business interests, at a drunken open mike at a bar in Pinos Altos, NM.  

I continued to record for about another 10 years, blues rock, pop.  Really refined my recording skills.  Still play once in while, but I'm an old fart now, with all the baggage that entails.
