NIGHT by Tom Jessen

Jessen’s songs are thick with horn sections, strings and backing vocals. Those elements create a lush backing for his densely packed lyrics that chronicle quests of spiritual and romantic satisfaction. – John Kenyon, Cedar Rapids Gazette

The sassy, pop/R&B horn charts that keynote the opening “Eulogy” signal a rich, wide-ranging hybrid of musical influences and textures that clearly separate this music from the sometime too-relevant adherence to the folk, roots-rock and Americana sources that have been the region’s dominant paradigm… - Jim Musser, Iowa City Press Citizen
