Method To My Madness (180-gram vinyl)
Pressed on 180g translucent blue vinyl. Includes FREE download card.
Method To My Madness features ten new original tracks, plus Castro-ized versions of B.B. King’s "Bad Luck" and the soul classic "I'm Qualified." Tommy and his rock-solid band The Painkillers recorded live in the studio, bringing fresh, melodic fire to tracks like the one-two opening punch of everyman anthems "Common Ground" and "Shine A Light," the full-tilt energy of the title track and the searing, deep soul of "Died And Gone To Heaven." "Phenomenal and funky...soulful vocals and inspired blues-rock guitar"—Washington Post
