voiceof.jpgB-Music's latest and Selda endorsed, Voice of the Seven Woods is Richard Tomlinson, a man who gives psych-folk fans a reason to live in the present. With his talent, it would be an injustice to slap the "freak-folk" label his way. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Tomlinson works equally in British Folk, Turkish Psych and Krautrock. "The Fire in My Head" starts with a fuzzed out Middle Eastern Guitar and continues to add layers into a full-on assault. "Silver Morning Branches" highlights his gentle, sometimes eerie voice, while other tracks showcase his abilities to pick like folk greats Bert Jansch and Sandy Bull.
