People have for years refered to Tom as a virtuso both on the guitar and the banjo, they have praised his vision and originality. Reviewers have continuly refered to his recordings as 'master works, by a master player'. Which Tom has reprinted often, but always thought....nah. However this record Tom really feels does deserve the aculades! He also, as is typical of Tom, considers the one he is working on (tenativly titled 'Quarter Moons, and Dawn') as light year advanced from Jack Rabbit. That being said, he feels Jack Rabbit the bench mark. Listen for yourselves!
