New Music From Tom Flannery

Tom Flannery and Lorne Clarke composed the soundtracks for both Facing Sudan and Crayons and Paper. Over the past several years, I have been amazed at the level of sophistication and talent these two singer-songwriters have demonstrated, not only with their work on the films, but also in their solo efforts as well.

Since recording the soundtrack to Facing Sudan, Flannery has released several albums. He posts the albums online; several of them are free downloads. His latest venture, Edward, is Flannery at his best: whimsical, poignant; at times heartbreaking and scathing. In a nutshell, Edward does not disappoint and certain tracks, most notably “We Deserve Better than This,” “Wallflowers” and “Without a Girl,” rank among his finest work. These tunes prove once again that Flannery is deserving of a much wider audience.

The album is available for free. There’s no reason not to download it. When you do, let others know. Pass it around. You will not be disappointed.
