Songwriter Tom Sheehan is to popular music what director Oliver Stone is to film.
Emotional, evocative songs that find their roots in the news, human relationships and the world around us.
Songwriter Tom Sheehan writes from experience - with an adult, non-fiction perspective.
Among the fourteen tracks on "Film at Eleven," for example, there are songs about addiction ("Black Ice"), the Kennedy Assassination ("Coup d'état"), yellow journalism ("Long Night"), the Columbine High School shootings ("On the Inside"), and rape ("It's Only Love").
Even his songs about relationships carry a different, adult point of view. "Here We Go Again" is a beautifully simple ballad about rediscovered adult love. "Don't Lie to Me," a scorching, sultry slow blues, covers the betrayed trust of adultery. And the album's closer, "True to You," is a devotional piece Sheehan wrote for his wife when she decided that she wanted to have another child at 40.
John Schoenberger, writing in the influential radio trade magazine totallyadult, said it best: "Tom Sheehan is an artist that you need to know about."
