Thames Valley Delta Blues (TVDB) is a sequel to Tom Hingley’s critically acclaimed 2000 album release, Keep Britain Untidy. It is a record that embraces musical elements as diverse as blues, folk, soul and punk. TVDB sees Tom discussing the world in 2009 including mass consumerism, debt, recession and ecstasy. “I didn’t make the record I should have done for my career, I made the record I felt I had to make.” says Tom. TVDB represents gospel music for people with no religion. “Lake of Fire” talks about modern day subjects including mass materialism and knife crime. “I saw the devil coming on the back of a wave, I saw a lake of fire and no one was saved, And when you hold my heart you hold it like a purse, It’s the root of all evil it’s just another curse”. Whereas Keep Britain Untidy was an album discussing the breakup of Tom’s marriage, TVDB discusses disparate subjects such as love and loss. It is an intimate record where you can hear Tom bashing out his tunes, one vocal and one guitar/banjo with no overdubs. Just intimate and immediate in the same way that past stalwarts such as Little Richard or Howling Wolf were. Please enjoy responsibly.
