Tom Fuller Band
Abstract Man
Fontana ()
Like many people I am always wary when someone trumpets an artist as the next big thing and so it was when the Tom Fuller Band album Abstract Man fell through my letterbox.
I have to say that from the first track Radio Man I was pleasantly surprised. The sound is definitely modern but also retro and has a very warm feel. The great thing about this album is that is real songs performed by real musicians. The songs also have a very familiar sound to them and that doesn’t mean that they are derivative merely that they grab you straight away which from a new artist is pretty impressive.
I have to say that I have been completely unfamiliar with the Tom Fuller Band previously despite the fact that the band have already performed a tour of the UK but I do fully intend to catch them the next time they pass through my hometown and I suggest that you do the same.
As for the other songs on the album, the single Lollipop Guild has a very Lennonesque feel to it and that is no bad thing in my book.
The songs throughout this album could all have been singles including a great cover of the Albert Hammond song The Air That I Breathe but really the hook is there on every one of the songs on this album and live these songs must just sound great.
Ultimately my favourites on this album are the opener Radio Man, Lollipop Guild and the title track Abstract Man but generally there isn’t one track on this album that I don’t like. It is just that those three tend to come up more frequently on my i-Pod
If there is any justice in the world then The Tom Fuller Band will certainly make a mark and this album will really be the one that kicks things off for them in a big way. The band has already toured the UK and in all probability gave Blue Oyster Cult and Blues Traveller a real run for their money towards the end of 2008. You will certainly see more of the Tom Fuller Band in 2009 and hopefully headlining their own gigs.
