"Tom Toth has performed several times in the Southeast over this past week and I was fortunate enough to be at the show in Columbus, Georgia at the Columbus Music Festival. WHAT A TREAT!! Tom has the soulful sound of blues and gospel and the message of a man in love. My heart swooned at the sound!! One of the greatest performances I have ever attended!! What a composer and performer!!"
The Best and Freshest CD I have heard in years!!

"Tom Toth distills the innocence of pure pop and the world-weariness of heartland folk into a blend of aching melodies and intelligent lyrics. A true picture of living in today's world with its ambiguities, disappointments, longing looks at days gone by, and ultimately, hope for better days ahead."
