Album Of The Week

"Novelists famously use their day jobs for material, guitarist Tom Rodwell mines his crossover blues career with a writerly taste for the surreal on 'Wood & Waste', a decadent and charmingly outré collection of songs."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"This is a wonderful album with precise guitar playing, strong vocals and unusual drumming, which makes it an interesting CD to check out. Open minded blues and rock fans will absolutely love this album, and I hope Tom Rodwell will become better known now.

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Tom Rodwell has been praised for his alt blues sound for years. He is successful as a solo act, is active with the band Storehouse, and has a solid reputation as a producer and session artist. 'Wood & Waste' is a cult album. Anarchist influences are almost the trademark for Tom Rodwell. Each song has a contrasting feel, and that's what makes this record so special. Great!"

- Philip Verhaege / Keys & Chords -

"Recorded in Roundhead Studios in Auckland, New Zealand, owned by Crowded House frontman Neil Finn, British blues artist Tom Rodwell has created an amazing new album called 'Wood & Waste' with 9 meaningful storytelling songs that are layered on a magnificently appealing lo-fi instrumented orchestration.“
