Tommy Womack – There, I Said It!
One of Tommy Womack’s favorite subjects is the absurd and glorious power of rock ‘n’ roll. The title track of his 1998 solo debut Positively Na Na nails the bittersweet gut punch of watching the music scene pass you by: “Let’s see a show of hands/Who keeps up with bands/When baby’s crying?” And Womack’s ode [...]

Tommy Womack Band – Washington, D.C.
Tommy Womack and his band probably don’t often take the stage in snazzy, color-coordinated outfits. They likely don’t smash many drum kits or bash many guitars. It’s doubtful they spend a lot of time trying to cultivate a buzz in the music industry. But they do make sure to rock, as this disc, recorded live [...]

Tommy Womack – Circus Town
Tommy Womack is a tough one to pin down stylistically, but with his third album, his free-ranging nature has taken on a shape of its own. It’s as if he’s been building himself a ramshackle mansion and the floor plan is now becoming familiar, albeit uniquely conceived. Circus Town has echoes of the Kinks throughout [...]

Tommy Womack – Stubborn
A veteran of a decade and a half with assorted bands, Tommy Womack is now on his second solo disc, following up his 1998 release Positively Na Na. (He also penned the 1995 memoir Cheese Chronicles, detailing his efforts and adventures with his old band Government Cheese.) Aptly titled, Stubborn confidently includes every strain of [...]

Lucinda Williams / Willie Nile / Tommy Womack – Sutler (Nashville, TN)
Lucinda Williams achieved a certain apotheosis in 1998, riding her arduously crafted Car Wheels On A Gravel Road to dozens of ten-best lists, breakthrough record sales and two Grammy nominations. So the intimate Saturday-night guitar pull she put together at the none-too-spacious Sutler was destined to turn away droves of folks. After a quick jab [...]

Tommy Womack – Positively Na Na
On his solo debut, Tommy Womack, an indie-rock veteran of the bands Government Cheese and the Bis-Quits, has taken full advantage of his current Nashville residency by assembling a backing band full of the talented musicians the town is known for. Banjo and pedal steel add a real country touch to Womack’s pop/rock songwriting; the [...]

Tommy Womack – Scorched Bis-quits & Cheese
The wilds of North Jersey, 1988. The guitarist from the questionably named rock ‘n’ roll outfit Government Cheese, hailing from the decidedly lesser wilds of Western Kentucky, turns to the band’s drummer as the pair searches for beer after getting their asses figuratively and literally kicked in Hoboken. “This’ll make a helluva book someday,” he [...]
