Tom Auton - Blues Train | Alternative Fruit

Tom Auton
Blues Train


The guitar wizard Tom Auton is back again to demonstrate his capable song-writing skills. Winner of Open Mic UK and Future Music Songwriting, this Welsh double belt champion has a big name for himself in such little time. Even guitar manufacturing giant Fender remarked on Tom Auton in a list of undiscovered talent. All he needs is a few good songs for people to remember him fondly by. We mentioned one already on Alternative Fruit, and now we are long due another one. With pleasure we can now report on a new single, one that keeps the momentum going and expands on this talented musician's count.


The song begins with a powerful voice, Tom sings with a blues scale inflection as a guitar and brass section pound in with heavy drums. Tom-tom rolls and cymbal crashes thrust a blues and rock motif into the air. Grubby distortion crumbles the chords into a grainy chopping as clear vocals work their magic in catchy lines. Harmonising tones push the riffs into new dimensions as the progression rises and falls like a tidal estuary. Punchy riffs with thrashy notes bring a wall of sludgy rock into an ever growing wall of well manicured noise.
