| Bio: | The Trailmen released our 2nd CD "Dust In Your Hands" on January 1st 2009. The music is a blend of folk rock, country western, south of the border Tex Mex with a blues rock backbone. The new CD follows the 2008 CD "Riding into Town" and introduces an expanded band lineup. Many thanks to the very talented musicians who joined me in the recording studio......John Brzoza - Lead Guitar, Paul Gilmore - Bass, Rodney Harris on Drums, Caitlin Durney on Fiddle, Todd Grossman on Mandolin ......Together we are The Trailmen!!! Both cds contain orginal music written by myself along with my songwriting partners Paul Carden and Lauron Lewis.

The Trailmen have been playing shows at assorted indoor and outdoor venues and have posted several live videos on you tube and myspace.. |
| Press Release: | If you have been craving some country rooted rock these days then "Dust In Your Hands" by Tom Hood and The Trailmen might be right up your alley. Their lineup of songs sets them apart from most rock acts with the addition of fiddle and mandolin both of which are well blended in the mix. Hood takes on the song "Caught In The Rain" with a very inspired Johnny Cash influence making for a great crossover tune. One of the standout tracks is "Back To The Baja" which features some nice lead guitar work and a bouncy groove that could be heard on any Jimmy Buffett or Traveling Wilburys album. Don't expect any classic style cowboy tunes on "Dust In Your Hands" because it's sheer rock/country entertainment. -Shaun and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team Another edition of Original Voices at the Vail has begun.... Tonight Tom Hood & the Trail Men are on our black box stage. Tom is someone I've known for years now through the open mike scene. He's an islander in more ways than one, having lived on more than one island himself & written songs about all of the above. We originally met at one of my open mikes & since then we've both frequented each other's open mikes & have met at all of the many crevices Long Island musicians inevitably see inbetween. "No mas tequilla!" The voilinist & guitarist are trading solos & Tom is sporting a blue Hawaiin shirt & declaring "No mas tequilla!" Campy on paper, maybe - but the crowd is enjoying it thoroughly. The next song is a complete departure. Perhaps Tom Petty meets Cinnamon Girl. The ripping, screeching, yet dreamy guitar solos are a side show unto themselves. Hat's off! ;) Thanks so much to Tom Hood & the Trail Men for a GREAT show! Check them out at: www.thetrailmen.com "Tom Hood is one of the more prolific local recorders of music" |
