Tom Jessen's Dimestore Outfit
(1996)
The 1996 release from Tom Jessen's Dimestore Outfit, Redemption, is a stunning musical collage. Jessen's work evokes the passion of the young Bruce Springsteen, the irreverent musical mood of Tom Waits, and the country-roots feel of the Byrds. The Outfit, which includes Dave Moore on accordian and Marty Letz on steel pedal guitar, weaves a haunting backdrop that blends seamlessly all of Jessen's sixteen songs. Redemption is Jessen's first release and is one that is certain to draw some attention.
