Music Revues
Pete Smith/ Country Music Journalist & Broadcaster/ UK.
Writing in The Advertiser, The Catholic Post and Country Music Roundup.
Tom Lambert, from Belfast, began his entertaining career at the age of twelve. Dispirited by the troubles in his homeland, Tom moved to Australia where his stone country approach and songwriting talent quickly led to a recording contract.
In Australia Lambert was nominated for awards in several 'Best' categories including, Male Singer, Album, Song and Talent.
Returning to Ireland in 1976 Tom settled in County Armagh. 'American Heart' (part one) [TOM & JERRY Label] is the guy's latest album, a collection of original songs that owe nothing to contemporary Nashville or to Ireland, but are firmly seated in the traditions of Hank and Lefty, Red and Ernest. In fact Tom reminded me a little of Dave Dudley an impression enhanced by the frequent references to trucks.
Tom has a very strong baritone that he uses to good effect on these ten
"real country" songs.
'A Truckers Tribute To Red Sovine' 'Country Line Dancin' Queen'.
Irene Flind-Madsen/ Radio Amager, Skovlunde, Denmark.
Great mix of up-tempo and ballads, my favorite songs are
/ALL CUTS.
Graham Hassall/ Country Music Journalist & Broadcaster / Radio Nightingale, Notts, England.
Writing in North Country Music.
A thoroughly enjoyable CD with great traditional style, super singing and music on every track.
This talented singer/songwriter puts his songs over really well and I have chosen these as my favorites,
'A Truckers Tribute To Red Sovine'
( a great tribute song)
'Honky Tonk And Lovin'
and
'Crazy Love ( from a crazy lady)'
all are terrific tracks. I also rate these as very good offerings,
'One Stop Too Many'
'Country Sound'
'Wanderin' Woman'
'Lonesome Man'.
Toms easy, laid back style is very appealing country music, making this a quality release.
Chris Pasco/ BBC Radio Cornwall, Truro.
Nice one, look forward to 'Part Two'. My favorite songs are;
'A Truckers Tribute To Red Sovine'
'One Stop Too Many'
'Country Sound'.
Alan Potter/Stray FM, Yorkshire Dales Radio.
I enjoyed the album very much. Good trad' sounds but not dated. Tom has an authentic sounding country voice and I'm looking forward to hearing more from him.
My favorite songs are;
'A Truckers Tribute To Red Sovine'
'One Stop Too Many'
'Country Line Dancin' Queen'
'Crazy Love ( from a crazy lady'.
EARBUZZ.COM REVIEW
Part narrative, part sung, Irish native Tom Lambert puts forth a pure country collection of honky-tonk tunes that range from line dancing descriptions to trucker storytelling of Phantom 309 in his CD,
"American Heart (Part One)".
The record opens with
"A Truckers Tribute to Red Sovine"
- a somber story of the impact Red Sovine had on the singer.
Track 4, "One Stop Too Many",
moves more as a 2/4 ballad - with a nice job on vocals by Lambert. The highlight of the CD is track 7's knee slap achy breaky part as Lambert launches into
"Country Line Dancin' Queen"
- he sings, 'she's a good 'ol rock and roll a boot skootin' boogie country line dancin' queen'.
Track 9, "Wanderin' Woman",
is a country tune of loss as Lambert sings of his efforts to make his woman happy to the point that he 'almost died', and gives his girlfriend the advise to 'go on out and catch yourself that train'. Overall, this is pure country, lined with Lambert's mature and sincere vocal lines. The tunes are well written and produced professionally. Luck of the Irish bodes strong with Lambert's ten song effort - and we're the lucky beneficiaries.
Good stuff.

"Elisa Brown Singer/songwriter Host of The Heart of Art-on PBS"
"Tom's talent for selecting an impressive array of gem stone tunes for his weekly broadcasts is consistently stellar. So, while I was expecting to bookend some great music for my week as the Featured Artist, nothing could have prepared for the caliber of artistry that Tom chose for the week that my recordings were aired.
I was literally blown away -- and truly honored -- to have my works featured alongside such a world class line-up of songs.
Thanks,Tom, for getting my music out into the world!"
"Steve Ratchen From recording artists Division 1.1, The Wizards of Winter and formerly of Alchemy X"
Tom is an absolute pleasure to deal with! His breadth of musical knowledge is surpassed only by his affability and charm- Having been in the recording/performing industry for many years, I have worked with a plethora of radio personalities and music show hosts and sometimes the process between artist and media can be confrontational or awkward at best. From our initial contact Tom was nothing but professional while being as cordial as if we'd been friends for years!
This is a man who appreciates the diversity of artists on his programme and truly champions the cause of eclectic, independent music, that is, none the less, every bit as polished and produced as any record you'd hear on mainstream radio! And that is no small feat in and of itself- In an industry that has eroded so badly due to the generic refuse that passes as "music", it is only on programmes like Tom's Independent Music Show, as well as other like-minded grass roots shows that one can hear artists and genres that you would never be aware of otherwise- A noble and imminently necessary endeavor and one that I think Mr. Lambert is excelling in-
Every now and then, something very good and very special happens in the music business. Being named the "Featured Artist" on Tom Lambert's "The Independent Music Show" is one of those very special events for me.
I am an independent Singer/Songwriter, Recording Artist and Record Producer. I operate my own indie record label, Tragic Poet Records. I have released four CDs and I am currently working on my fifth CD, "The King of Vagabond Road - Songs Inspired by the Paintings of Jack B Yeats." My recent CD release is, "Fifteen Minutes Of Fame - Music Inspired by the Art & Times of Andy Warhol - Steve Vozzolo & The Tragic Poets." My songs have been covered by a number of other artists, most notably, Arlo Guthrie.
The benefits I have enjoyed as "Featured Artist" are quantifiable in that my music has been heard world wide on over 190 syndicated radio stations by many hundreds of thousands of listeners resulting in new fans and increased music downloads and CD sales. My status as "Featured Artist" has resulted in significant interest and airplay for my music by other radio stations, as well. While I do have a presence on social media, Tom Lambert has made an "art form" of effective promotion on social media sites which has also been of great benefit to my music. Also, the acknowledgment, validation and recognition of my music serves as wonderful motivation for me to keep working. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go out to Tom Lambert and The Independent Music Show.
Warm Regards, Steve Vozzolo
Being "Featured Artist" on 'The Independent Music Show' has been a GREAT experience for me! Not only did the program air two of my recordings – one to begin and one to end the show – but Tom's commentary sparked extra interest that "only" airplay alone could not supply.
I definitely recommend the Featured Artist promotion to other artists. Visit Deborah
Tom Lambert/Real Country
At age 12, Tom Lambert first took to the stage with a troop of vaudeville entertainers, based in Ligoniel, Belfast N. Ireland. 'The Vincinnetts' as they were known, staged concert shows all over Ireland and Tom first cut his musical teeth, 'On The Boards' as they say in show-business
In the middle 60s, Tom started to write and perform country music in the local bars and clubs and in 1970 he moved to South Australia. It was in Adelaide, were Tom signed to the 'Nationwide Label' and along with his good friend Joe Madill (also from Belfast) penned and recorded his first country album 'Big Rig Blues'.
The album was a big success, so good in fact that Tom was nominated in no less than 5 categories of ' The Third Wrangler Australasian Country Music Awards' held at 'Tamworth Town Hall' NSW. (Australia's Grand Ole Opry ) on January 27th 1974.
Well...that's a good question. It's very fulfilling...I mean when you sit down with a blank page, a pencil and a guitar and finish up with a lyric and a melody. You feel good! Then when you take your song into a recording studio and get to hear what good country musicians can do with it...wow...your creation takes on a life of it's own and when people want to hear and buy your finished work. You feel humble, elated and surprised.
I thank all the Gods for the ability to write and perform country music, that can give enjoyment, to many people.
How's the truck drivin' goin'?
Well...you know what they say. Never give up your day job; But, I like drivin' trucks and it keeps me fit. The only thing wrong is it's much like being a performer...your home life suffers a little.
I guess that's why a truck driver and a performer, needs a very understanding woman. The lady in my life. Is That Woman!
You have your own website, do you think the internet is the way of the future?.
Absolutely; you only have to look at the amount of music sites on the internet, and how many people from all over the world are visiting them. Also, the independent writer and artist can now promote his or her work worldwide, without having first to go through the big labels...and that can only be good for the buying public. People now can buy what they want and not what they're told to buy through high-powered advertising. Free downloads of music are available on sites, profiles of artists, listen before you buy. The internet is the way of the future.
What's next for you big guy?
I'm not sure. The music game is a very fickle lady, one day your up and the next day your down. But one thing is for sure...you get to meet and make a lot of friends. I've got a lot of friends I try to keep in touch with and someday, maybe we'll all get together and have ourselves one hell of a jam session.
Until that day comes along, I'll just keep doing the things I love best. Writing and playing country music. You never know, like Jerry Reed said in ''Another Puff ''.... maybe I'll be a hit songwriter!
In the meatime, I keep very busy with 'The Independent Music Show' and the show magazine, both of which are growing tremendously. Everyone is welcomt to the great all genre music of the planet's Independent performers and writers....the backbone of our industry!!
'The Australian Era' is a 2001 re-release of the 1973 album @Road To Gold'/'Big Rig Blues'.
The title track 'Big Rig Blues' was nominated in no less than five catagories of 'The Third Wrangler Australasian Country Music Awards' in 1974 and the album went on to 'Double Gold' status in sales, 1975/76
This year 2001 release, has been digitally enhanced, to bring out a superior sound quality to an album that is already proven and still has the ingredients, of a class performance.
Australian heritage...prospectors, railroads, transport drivers, mining towns, Lassiter's 'Reef Of Gold', the finding of lead and zinc at Broken Hill, moved Tom and Joe to writing songs about this great land.
This Australian country music recording shows the versatility of Tom Lambert as artist and writer, a man, who I'm sure will go on to become one of country music's top stars.
