Tom Lambert, from Belfast, began his entertaining career at the age of twelve. Dispirited by the troubles in his homeland, Tom moved to Australia where his stone country approach and songwriting talent quickly led to a recording contract.
In Australia Lambert was nominated for awards in several 'Best' categories including, Male Singer, Album, Song and Talent.
Returning to Ireland in 1976 Tom settled in County Armagh. 'American Heart' (part one) [TOM & JERRY Label] is the guy's latest album, a collection of original songs that owe nothing to contemporary Nashville or to Ireland, but are firmly seated in the traditions of Hank and Lefty, Red and Ernest. In fact Tom reminded me a little of Dave Dudley an impression enhanced by the frequent references to trucks.
Tom has a very strong baritone that he uses to good effect on these ten "real country" songs.

A thoroughly enjoyable CD with great traditional style, super singing and music on every track.
This talented singer/songwriter puts his songs over really well and I have chosen these as my favorites,
'A Truckers Tribute To Red Sovine' ( a great tribute song) 'Honky Tonk And Lovin' and 'Crazy Love ( from a crazy lady)' all are terrific tracks. I also rate these as very good offerings,
'One Stop Too Many'/ 'Country Sound'/ 'Wanderin' Woman' and 'Lonesome Man'.
Toms easy, laid back style is very appealing country music, making this a quality release.
