Is Tommy Tucker brilliant or bad? You decide.
There's no in between with Baltimore singer/songwriter Tommy Tucker.
You'll love him, or you'll hate him.
Go here and listen to "Keep Good Time."
I love it. The beat smokes and his wailing falsetto makes me giggle. It sounds like he's singing in a bathroom.
Hee hee.
You know what this song needs? A sweet music video. Tommy, if you happen upon this blog, get on that, please.
I first came across Tommy's stuff about a year ago, and played a song or two on Baltimore Unsigned ...
Tommy kind of fell off the map for a while, until resurfacing with a sick cover of "Sign of the Judgement" on The Old Lonesome Sound, a wonderful compilation of traditional tribute songs put together by Splice Today magazine.
"Keep Good Time" is off Tommy's new album, which should see the light of day in the near future, I hear.

He made a music video, and I have to say it's pretty sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA-uEQS1nW8
He's a cool kid. My brother's pretty good friends with him.
