My mate dragged me along to a small, intimate gig of Tom McRae's in Fat Sams, Dundee, last night. Having never heard any of his stuff, I wasnt keen to go along.

However, he absolutely blew me away. He was just amazing. I dont think I've ever enjoyed a gig as much! He is lovely, very, very talented, and also very funny, great banter with the crowd. His lyrics are superb and his voice is just amazing. I'm a convert. I will buy all his albums.

Tom, if you're reading this, please marry me!

I recently heard his music for the first time. Absolutely blew me away as well, what a talent, and what a voice. I will buy all his albums too. Love this one.....

He really is an incredible talent, if you haven't heard his music before take a moment, sit back and indulge your ears with these sensual sounds.

Just Like Blood is undoubtedly his best album. His eponymous 1st album is also good. All Maps Welcome and King Of Cards never really moved me like his 1st 2 albums. Well worth seeing in concert at any rate.

Going by this post it seems I must be missing his first album. Just Like Blood was the first one I ever got and it is a beautiful piece of work.

Have just got his new one: The Alphabet Of Hurricanes and it's absolutely fantastic. Beautiful instrumention, thought-provoking and imaginative lyrics. Everything I expected.

I too have Tom McCrae's "Just Like Blood" album and love it - based on this thread it seems I should really check out his latest one as well.

You absolutely should. Plus all those he's released in between too.

Ok, all ordered from amazon.

Just listening to Just Like Blood actually as I hadn't given this a listen for ages. Fantastic album.

Shame I didn't notice he was touring as he played in my neck of the woods a few days ago and it would have been great to see him, ah well I'll make do with the albums!

Wow great stuff. I've sadly only seen him "performing live" once and that was in HMV oxford street several years ago.
