The Best of Tom Booth
By Tom Booth
This collection is an ear-pleasing mix of time-tested favorites, Unity Award winners and hits from one of Tom’s albums, Unravel.
Released during Tom's nationwide tour with John Michael Talbot (the “Monk Rock Tour”), the disc includes two brand new songs and 15 classics from his previous albums, several of them re-mixed and re-recorded to sound better than ever. From edgy, hard-rocking epics like “Taste of Heaven” to wispy acoustic ballads like “My Lady,” the album reflects the wide range of moods and styles—and the intensity of devotion—in Tom's music.
It's only fitting that the new songs, “Slipping” and “You to Blame,” find their way to the public on this CD. Featuring ingenious arrangements and conscience-grabbing lyrics, they both would have ended up on a best-of collection eventually.
Recorded partly at Abbey Road Studios in London, famous for their Beatles albums, The Best of Tom Booth is a must-have for Booth fans. For those who aren't familiar with him, it's an excellent introduction to one of contemporary Catholic music's most gifted artists.
