BOOTH DOES NOT INCLUDE ADMISSION---LIMITED SEATED SHOW--- Good For You, the 7th release from Austin TX based, singer/songwriter, Americana Music Award Nominee Tom Gillam is a return to form…of sorts. Recorded at a small lake-house in remote Northeast Maryland, with a small cache of musical friends and a minimal amount of overdubs, Good For You exudes the joy and merriment experienced by all during the recording as well as focusing on the deeper lyrical subject matter of some of the tracks. After releasing the more roots-inspired acoustic driven Rustic Beauty in 2011 Gillam has returned to a more “electric” version of Americana/Roots Rock with Good For You a stunning collection of tunes that runs the gamut of what Gillam has come to call his “sound” over the last 12 years and six releases. A full offering of stinging electric slide guitar, a warm whiskey tenor rasp, coupled with a knack for writing a catchy melody, along with the occasional aching acoustic ballad, Gillam has finally encompassed all he is in this amazing 12 song set. Highlights include the rollicking rolling opener Right Here, Right Now which moves seamlessly into the ’70s rock inspired Goodbye Goodtime. Along side the poignant A Train The Rain & Other Things, to the achingly beautiful Last Night on Earth and the title track. Gillam even delves into some “swamp rock” on the slide driven, “chest pounding” “Put Me In The Ground” & “Something’s Not Right” with the help of his Austin neighbor Lincoln Durham on harp.
