Review by Out & About Newspaper

Since moving to Nashville a decade ago, singer/saxophonist/percussionist Tommy Keenum has lent his soulful touch to a wide range of live shows including David Mead, Bobby Bare Jr., The Bees, and Steff Mahan.

He is also a charter member of the hugely successful band of Nashville glitterati that is Guilty Pleasures. With the release of his first solo record last year, Keenum’s unique style was placed front and center. Produced by Bees frontman Daniel Tashian, Sentimental Jamboree is packed with fresh takes on a delightful assortment of writers from Isaac Hayes to Nick Drake and is the perfect showcase for Keenum’s lush vocals and lyrical sax work. Jack Silverman of the Nashville Scene called Sentimental Jamboree “great bedroom listening that goes even deeper than that, probing themes of love more from the spirit than the body.”

His self-penned new release Time Marches On builds on the same pop/jazz dreaminess while the songs chart one man’s journey to grow up, get real, and live with passion and integrity. For more info go to www.tommykeenum.com

Warm voice and good composition on this CD raise deep spirits

One of the few CDs I have that I can listen to over and over again without skipping songs. I have it on my Ipod shuffle and listen to it while walking and thinking. Perfect cd for a roadtrip or when you’ve got someone special on your mind. Love the surprises that each song contains and I appreciate the talent of the accompaning artists which adds alot to the pleasure of this album–especially the piano/keyboard work. Fav song is the bonus track, reminiscent of the classic “Send in the Clowns.” Anyways, overall the whole CD flows well.
