Unravel

We're all familiar with incidents in which famous people "unraveled," ruining their reputation through some scandal. That's not the way God wants us, as Christians, to go down. Rather, he calls us, as Tom puts it, to "drown gracefully," to die to self, to "unravel" in imitation of Christ.

An invigorating pop-rock sound
Tom's fifth album reflects on this unraveling that Christ calls us to daily. Set to an invigorating pop-rock sound and performed by an incredible cast of musicians, the message of Unravel is one you'll want to hear over and over.

Classic American/British rock styling
Tom composed and recorded the title track and four other songs in the tradition of the classic American/British rock song. The album also includes lushly arranged ballads and songs with parts for cello, Hammond B-3 organ and even ukulele.

Unforgettable guitar solo by Phil Keaggy
The classic Christian poem "The Hound of Heaven" comes to life in "The Shade of Your Hand," which ends with an unforgettable guitar solo by the legendary Phil Keaggy.

Amazing cast of guest musicians
Phil is just one of many amazing guest musicians Tom gathered for this project. Steve Ferrone, who has played with George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Tom Petty, and who is considered one of the world's finest rock drummers, performs on several tracks.

Appearances by Fr. Stan Fortuna, Carl Herrgesell and others
Other guests include Fr. Stan Fortuna (jazz/hip-hop/rap artist and Franciscan priest), ValLimar Jansen (renowned gospel singer), Matt Maher, keyboardist Carl Herrgesell (Kenny Loggins, Elton John), drummer Tony Mora (Kathy Troccoli, Point of Grace), drummer/percussionist Will Denton (DC Talk, Steven Curtis Chapman), Dave Cleveland on guitar, and studio ace/bass player Matt Pierson (Rich Mullins and others).

Psalms, songs for prayer, worship and gathering
Providing songs for both listening and communal worship, the collection includes three guitar-based psalm settings with breezy, melodic, acoustic styling. Other songs can serve for gathering and other parts of a liturgy or prayer service.

All in all, Unravel exceeds expectations.
