Described
as a collection of ten original songs
music to heal,
inspire and unite, Trust provides a superb
introduction to the music of Washington, D.C. based singer-songwriter
Tom Nichols. Renowned for years as the co-producer on the many
acclaimed instrumental music albums by New Age piano virtuoso Dan
Chadburn, on Trust, Tom steps out as a fantastic artist in
his own right. First released on CD back in 2011, the ten track, 40+
minute Trust is a momentous pop-rock album, complete with introspective
lyrics and catchy melodies that frame Toms songs with a peaceful,
calm sound. Contributing his one-of-a-kind piano sounds to several
tracks here, Dan Chadburn makes his presence felt while other
musicians appearing on the superbly recorded Trust include
Paul Bell (electric / acoustic guitars), Holly Montgomery
(co-production, bass), Andy Hamburger (drums), Jeff
Hamlin (piano), Helen Hausmann (violin) along with other
fine players, producers and engineers. Describing his musical mission
on Trust in his CD liner notes Tom explains, Through
my own journey in creating Trust, I have realized the many gifts that
music can provide. Trust has afforded me the opportunity to confront
and conquer the many fears that have kept me from becoming the man
I am called to be and to celebrate the man I am becoming.
With its stellar combination of impressive performances and superb
production skills, Trust shines a light on Toms songwriting
as well as his fondness of classic rock and pop music. No matter how
depressed or challenged the listener's mood, with its message of hope
and gratitude, Trust provides the right kind of sonic spirit
needed to uplift the listener to a more promising place in their life.
A
vital discovery for supporters of contemporary music,
Trust deserves a place in the music collections of pop-rock
fans. www.tomnicholsmusic.com
