Tom Fuller recalls Tom Petty, Jellyfish, Beatles

This man covered "Air That I Breathe" - which I'm not sure was necessary. He has one of the creepiest promo pictures I have seen in the past 20 years, but he also has some catchy well crafted pop songs - particularly "Sunglass Wardrobe"..........



Chicago-based rocker Tom Fuller's second album is full of tunes that put his classic rock influenced riffs toe to toe with his melodic hooks and his crafty knack for lyrical narrative. Sometimes his messages are conveyed in bite-size chunks and sometimes with intriguing, poetic imagery that lets the listeners create their own interpretations. The abstract man that Fuller raised from its infant state with the help of producer Rick Chudacoff is a kaleidoscopic musical journey that exceeded any of its participants' wildest imaginations. Those true-blue rock & roll values that Fuller has held close to his heart all along bear fruit in the form of everything from the stadium-stomping Britpop of Oasis to the saber-sharp roots-rock of John Hiatt, and the kind of heartland rock that conjures up Tom Petty's finest moments.


To see his bizarre make-up / photoshop and hear his songs that hearken back to a simpler time:
