"Side Show Revival is a delicious mish-mash of up-tempo aisle-dancers, goose-flesh-inducing ballads, and wisdom-inflected ruminations." - Pulse Magazine, Tom Hallet
Bio / Background
“As it played [Side Show Revival], I became more and more interested...by track 5, I was hooked.”
- Roy Book Binder (Troubadour, raconteur and fingerpicking master)
"If you’re going sing about religion, this is how it should be done. Tom Feldmann & the Get-Rites' 2007 release “Side Show Revival” takes rootsy, acoustic tones, rolls them in the dirt and cleans them up to help spread the word about being “Converted,” “Redeemed” and “Bought by the Blood.” The result is 11 tracks that make you want to throw your arms up and dance – whether it’s for the sake of religion or not."
- St. Cloud Times, Adam Hammer
"Side Show Revival is exactly what it claims to be — a spiritual renewal.
↓ more ↓With lyrics addressing finding Jesus, evaluating spiritual gifts and the power of redemption, Feldmann sets an individual restoration example far more powerful than 1) your typical acoustic blues song about lost love or addiction and 2) traditional hymns that have all but lost their meaning in a sinful society."
- Perfect Porridge, Greg Swan
"With a deep voice and an Americana folk sound, Feldmann & the Get-Rites deliver a nice old time album reminiscent of Ralph Stanley but much more modern."
- Phantom Tollbooth Magazine, Shari Lloyd
"Whatever your convictions may be, Side Show Revival is a dazzling, heartfelt showcase of songwriting and performing by a talented singer/composer/guitarist that is definitely worth a spin."
- Blues Bytes, Graham Clarke
4 out of 5 Stars
- La Hora Del Blues, Spain
"Side Show Revival is excessively captivating." 3 1/2 out of 4 Stars
- Hanx, the Netherlands
"Tom Feldmann helps you feel the Lord and, if you’re not interested in any mystical experience, makes you become a blues and gospel fan."
- Il Popolo del Blues Magazine, Jacopo Meille, Italy
"Feldmann has a terrific voice, somewhat reminiscent of Chris Smither, and it becomes quickly apparent on the opening brace of tracks ("Converted" and "Jesus") that he is a pretty mean fingerpicker too. A thoroughly entertaining 38 minutes."
8 out of 10 stars
- Blues In Britain Magazine, Gordon Baxter, UK
"An unashamed religious glory-fest that is fuelled by the ultimate goal of salvation, redemption, and a place at ‘The Mans’ head table. A deep, soulful vocal range with a Son House-esque ‘deathly’ wail to boot, Feldmann is both authentic and retrospective at the same time and is both questioning and thought provoking in his songwriting. The band helps create that thirties back-water groove and the whole thing, judged on the music, gets a thumbs up."
- AmericanaUK, Del Day
"Tom Feldmann has a gravelly, lived-in voice that is just perfect for the kind of Blind Willie Johnson styled songs he tackles here, and he also has a knack for the kind of bluegrass gospel vocal that merited the phrase ‘the high, lonesome sound’ in the first place. Yes, I liked this one a lot."
- BluesArtStudio, Norman Darwen, Austria
"I was sure the company from Montrose, Minnesota, had knocked at the wrong door sending this CD to a convinced atheist, I still opened the tray and allowed the disk in. Not really knowing what clever words I could imagine to describe the eleven tracks, all I can say now is something like, it's damn good stuff!"
- the Gazette of Greenwood, Patrice Champarou, France
"Feldmann is a fine slide-resonator guitar player and the influences of Fred McDowell and Son House on his playing is evident. Whether you describe this as country blues, gospel or Americana, fans of slide and resonator guitar and old time religion may want to check this out.
- Blues and Rhythm Magazine, Tony Burke, UK
"Tom Feldmann (vocals, dobro) and his throw-back trio (Paul Liebenow, bass & Jed Staak, trap-kit drums) breathe fresh air into the conventions of early 20th-century, folk-spiritual music. Carving out new sonic territory between the religious blues sounds of Blind Willie Johnson or Son House and Old-Time predecessors like the Reverend J.M. Gates, Feldmann's sound is honest, direct and intimate. Criticism is hard to come by on a project as clearly thought-out and well presented as this one."
- Blues and Co. Magazine, Paul Linden, France
