Album Review: Tom E. Lewis - Beneath The Sun

From the endearing cover showing every line of his face, the storytelling and warm, imperfect vocal delivery to the sense of folk adventure that allows strings, brass, jazz structures, country flourishes and even an excellent take on Australian Crawl classic Reckless to thrive together on Beneath The Sun, Tom E. Lewis feels instantly like good company. A world-travelling jazz-didge virtuoso of the '90s and stage and screen star best known for his lead role in The Chant Of Jimmie Blacksmith, one can't help but be drawn to Lewis – music from a life thoroughly lived.
