http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7668&rws=%2Ftom-freund%2Ftop-tracks.rssTom Freund first appeared alongside Ben Harper on the limited release, vinyl-only record <I>Pleasure and Pain</I> in 1992. Since then, Freund has steadily released albums of his own, with five under his belt as of 2007. Working mainly in country and folk circles, Freund's music comes off as a sort of modern, more accessible <I>Sweet Revenge</I>-era John Prine, with a knack for lost Americana and loser-portraits, as well as arrangements that have drawn comparisons to Tom Waits. A multi-instrumentalist who did time in alt country band the Silos, Freund pays close attention to said arrangements, and even when a song he writes would sit well in the mainstream, accordions, dobros, elements of blues and western swing -- all kinds of respectable touches -- fill out the sound. - Mike McGuirkAlt Countryen720Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:32:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7668&rws=%2Ftom-freund%2Ftop-tracks.rss Tom Freund first appeared alongside Ben Harper on the limited release, vinyl-only record <I>Pleasure and Pain</I> in 1992.
