ABOUT THE ARTIST: Thom Birch, an Irish American, was born in the Bronx. He performed in a motown style soul band as a child, as well as performing as a folk singer.

The CD, "Chanting Soul", is where urban American music meets classical Eastern chanting. Thom is retired from teaching yoga and is presently devoted to an exceptional musical career. His live performances leave the audience in a standing ovation!

This is not really chanting, this is soul.

This CD is great listening. It's not just chanting, although the words do give it a peacefulness and the singing is beautiful. It reminds me of soul music.

Lively and fun; like a chant, it gets inside you

It's lively and fun, and like a chant, it gets inside you. It's my new favorite. I gave it as gifts to several folks who helped me organize a party that Tom played at. All were thrilled to get it and carry away part of the party with them.
