Man On The Corner
Self-Released, 2025
8/10
The debut from an artist who has a long connection to music that stems from childhood health problems, TT pens songs about his own experiences that revolve around Americana and introspection.
The warm and country fueled “My Confession” begins the listen with cozy singing and much melody, and “Let Us Breathe” follow with a driving pace of fluid guitars and crisp drumming, as TT’s distinct vocals enter.
Deeper into the listen, the acoustic guitar fueled “My Kinda Cowgirl” carries a thumping and anthemic quality that uses soaring electric guitar, too, while “Old Glory” trims the pace back with balladry, where gritty moments enter thanks to the expressive vocals and folk qualities.
Residing close to the end, the pretty “You Gotta Earn Me” carries an infectious energy via the soothing backing vocals and scrappy musicianship, and “A Moment Ago” exits with sublime piano and powerful singing that tugs on the heartstrings.
TT has endured many hardships in his life, but he’s taken those experiences and shaped them into excellent art, where roots, classical, country and rock’n’roll are all part of his timeless formula.
Travels well with: Vakili Band- Honey; Sarah King- When It All Goes Down
