Reviews

"Into The Dirt features some of the hallmarks of Swift's style, crafted over two decades of performing: A deep, emotional voice, relaxed finger-picked folk blues, a little delta, a little ragtime...it includes some of the best songs he's ever written, and really a whole new Thom Swift to enjoy."

- Telegraph Journal, NB

"Masterfully produced by Charles Austin Into The Dirt sonically alludes to what might happen if Tom Waits and Mark Knoffler ever put themselves in the hands of legendary Canadian producer Daniel Lanois. An impressive, rewarding listening experience for those who enjoy tonally-textured song and soundscapes, classily performed."

- JazzEast Rising Magazine, Halifax, NS

"…offering deep, earthy vocals over acoustic, sparsely arranged folk and blues tunes.  An enjoyable album produced in such a real, rootsy way, you’d swear Thom was playing in your living room."
