What I Mean To Say Is Goodbye


Tom Brosseau came to Los Angeles only a few short years ago via San Diego via North Dakota. I first heard him when Page invited me to San Diego to check out this new guy he'd been working with. I sat in the back of Lestat's, a capacity crowd of me and the soundman, listening to this guy's voice completely awestruck. It's a voice that is so distinctly delicate, a broken falsetto that one might find on back porches in Memphis from old men that have lived the hard life. Yet he was still raw, guitar playing a bit scattered, unsure of himself, and Page seemed to save every one of his bad jokes from disaster. Today, here he is, a growing favorite of the L.A. singer-songwriter scene, Flannagan's stepchild, and now the proud papa of What I Mean To Say Is Goodbye, his indie label debut -- one of the finest records of the year.
