Borrowed Time by Tom Paul Tom Paul : Borrowed Time.
 Roots rock meets contemporary folk.

Tom Paul is back with a new album offering entitled "Borrowed Time". Tom produced this album himself. However he retained Charlie Morgan who played drums on his first 2 albums. The result is a more direct "guitar rock" presentation. Tom wrote these songs about personal hardship and the growth that he found through the experience of being unemployed in 2008. Everyone will find themselves humming these tunes after a couple of listens.

Tom's musicianship and vocals have continued to mature since his last release "There is no map" in 2003. This album, like his previous works, is a celebration of life made more poignant by facing down his own demons. Tom was told early on that to write great songs you just need a 3 chords and the truth. This album challenges us to take an honest look at our own lives....the rewards can be wonderful.
