In the words of others...
"Tom
May himself is the epitome of a balladeer, singing his own songs and
those of others with warmth, humor, and accessibility" "Tom
is a troubadour in a greater sense than I am. He goes out there and
plays, traveling in a car down some very long roads, from one show
to another" "Tom May sounds a little like the young Stan Rogers with a dash of Ian Tyson…His rich, round, full voice caresses each song before he lets it go."--Rich Warren, Sing Out! Magazine "Perhaps
my own favorite of Tom's is the saucy Louisiana/Texas vibe of "The
Rose of the Riverwalk". But you will doubtless come away with
a sense of affirmation from the entire set-for it keeps the music,
and the inevitable currents of faith in mankind, alive in a time that
hasn't welcomed the singer/songwriter with open arms. Very good stuff,
indeed." "Thanks to his fine River City Folk program, which airs on most public radio stations around the country, Tom May may well be the most well-known Nebraskan in the country."--Jon Sirkis, Acoustic Musician "His album’s a delightful showcase of ripely matured musiscianship, blending songwriting, voice and instrumentation that have definitely ‘arrived’."--Folk Roots "One of the most talented performers in the emerging acoustic music renaissance. His voice really rivets one’s attention, whether on record or tape, or in concert. Tom is a real crowd-pleaser.--The Boston Globe "Tom May has a voice that is smoother than silk! When he combines singing with narration in one of our favorite songs, it is too good!"--Folk Music Quarterly "Tom May not only keeps the folk music tradition alive, he enhances the genre with his commentary, his introduction of new artists, and his own unique music."--Howard Lowe, KVNO Radio "Tom May’s music revives the art of listening!"--Cathy Beckham, The Statesman Journal, Salem Oregon "Tom May’s newest Album is a delightful mix, all excellent. The pace of the music, like May’s singing, is gentle and laid back, a portrait of a wandering life, loving and longing…"--Danna Garcia, Canadian River Music
