The true test of originality for any musician comes when you
hear an instrument being played and you instantly know who's
playing it. For electric guitarists, certainly Hendrix qualifies; Page
and Clapton, too. Maybe Eddie Van Halen before the legion of
imitators. You probably have your own list, but to us, standing
toe-to-toe (or pick-to-pick) with those legends is Television

guitarist and solo artist Tom Verlaine. His self-taught, jazz-
influenced style, largely devoid of effects, and vibrato tone (oh,

that tone!) makes any Verlaine solo unmistakably a Verlaine solo.
That he was quite an accomplished, idiosyncratic songwriter is
just a bonus. Real Gone Music is very, very proud to announce
that we have arranged with the Verlaine estate to release Tom's last
three solo albums on LP, of which this one, 2006's Around, is the second.
Around picks up the lofty mantle of the Warm and Cool album that
was released 14 years prior with another set of utterly mesmerizing
instrumentals, ranging from solo, almost raga-esque explorations
("Flame") to post-rock vamps ("Balcony") to abstract sketches ("A
Burned Letter") to the kind of indescribable, utterly gorgeous beauty
that only this man and his guitar could pull off ("Eighty-Eights").
That's old Television band-mate Billy Ficca on drums; bassist and
original engineer Patrick Derivaz's new mastering for vinyl will make
this record sing and breathe along with you (and vice versa). Tom's
long-time partner, artist Jutta Koether, again pens inspired, heartfelt notes on the enclosed insert. Sunglasses brown
pressing for this album's vinyl debut!
