Costello has an open sounding approach perfect for a session of gentle desert contemplation.
Most artists use their instrument as a tool to hack out a preconceived hook.
I am looking for those who allow their instrument to take part in the composition as a partner. This Song tells me I'm a timless traveller on a spiritual journey. I was really moved by this piece, Gollum's Handiwork, and wanted to include here on Selected Eclectic. Tom delivers a very haunting quality in this piece, indicative to my ears of the blues legacy of Robert Johnson crossing with a certain amount of Celtic modallity. Tom is also a luthier.
