What Folks are saying about ' Never Shed No Tears'


'Kingston-based singer/songwriter Tom Savage's third CD, Never Shed No Tears is steeped in the folk tradition of Dylan and Nebraska-era Springsteen. Tasty Celtic touches like the flute work by harmony vocalist Vanessa Longul(Savage's partner in life and music) , and Zeke Mazurek's violin sweeten Savage's weary, resigned vocal style. While this CD features fine songwriting throughout, highlights include the title track and Wrong Side of Town which could almost be called 'Bossa Folka'; for its Latin feel in the guitar and percussion. It's the blending of the folk idiom with those extra international accents that makes this one stand out above the usual folk fare.', Dave Clarke, Scene Magazine


'He might be no relation to ECHO sex columnist Dan Savage, but Tom Savage is equally adept at raising the hair on the back of one's neck - albeit for purely musical reasons. Probably best described as a poor man's Bruce Springsteen - which is far more of a compliment than it might seem in print..Ironically enough, the album by the same name features a few vintage Savage tear-jerkers, along with his trademark politically-informed ballads.' Declan Kelly, Echo Weekly
