Seven Levels - Release
Tommy Talton has always written and played straight from the heart, and his new album Seven Levels might be his most soulful yet. Every song carries a piece of him, filled with the passion and honesty that made his music so timeless.
We’re so excited to share it with you. Give it a listen and don’t miss the chance to order the full album.
New Tommy Talton music! Seven Levels is a wonderful final album, seven tracks recorded at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon.
First look at the song “I Want To Do It All Over Again” from his new album, with video put together by Steven Gondek, Tommy's son-in-law, for his Celebration of Life.
Steven says, “This song touches many levels of life, and the end, and the will to stay in the memories of it all. We think this could be one of his best songs, not only musically and lyrically, but the meanings behind the words. The loss of him in our lives makes this a very special song. Tommy couldn’t wait to share his new album, a compilation of songs that highlight his life’s work. He was so proud to share it with you all, and we are forever proud of him.”
