Tom Atwood

Tom Atwood's songs are stories of life in America: imploding baseball stadiums, dying amphibians, asphalt, weed killer, and the local news. Sharp commentary wrapped in plain paper and smooth harmonies.
A documentary producer, Atwood began writing songs more than 30 years ago. His first record, a 45 RPM, was produced in 1975 with the acoustic band Arm and Hammer. Atwood's latest album, Songs from the American Plain, a CD of original folk, New Age and classical music, is available on The Lost Records of the World label.
What other songwriters are saying about Tom Atwood and Songs from the American Plain:
"A real treasure...this is truly masterful. You have captured the great complexity of a deceptively 'plain' thing. Through it all, the ups and downs, the aggression and peace, in the end I am left with a full and warmed heart. Your songs always show such wisdom." -- Peter Greenstone, Austin
"Whenever I listen to your music, I always find myself abandoning whatever I was at and just falling into the world of your songs. Then I press repeat and do it all over again." -- Lisa Purdy, Seattle
"Your singing is always so beautiful, and your harmonies are always so well-wrought; mixed with real plain-speaking lyrics...you have so much ability, but you never let that overshadow the meaning of a piece of music." -- William Shaw, London
