Album Notes

PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE OF YOU ARE BASED IN EUROPE (It's bad carbon karma to post CDs twice across the Atlantic)! Please visit Tom's own website, click on 'Albums" and purchase via Abicat - thanks.


The Whisper unveils a string of compelling story songs, presented with thought and subtlety, balancing dark material - The Sin of Mary Prout is brilliant - with humour and oddball arrangements. (Colin Irwin - Mojo)

Tom is one of the country's finest songwriters, and also one of our finest singers. This powerful - and very generous - cd must get an award of some sort, surely. (Chris Ridley - Folk News Kernow).

A whisper would be far too muted a response to this exceptional CD. (Dave Kidman - Folk Roundabout)

A fine album. Surrounded by excellent musicians, Tom Bliss is a force to be reckoned with. (Toby Freeman - Folk London).
