In the Nov/Dec issue of Blues Revue, Brian Owens had this to say about Torch Tones:
“…Nomad boasts powerful vocals and guitar prowess as well as some imaginative contemporary blues song crafting…Whether wrangling slide or letting his fingers do the talking, Nomad proves again to be a consummate singer, songwriter and player, and a qualified bluesman of the highest order…”
Here’s what Federico Borra said about his beautiful painting “Donna Rossa”which is the cover of Torch Tones:
“Donna Rossa is a woman who usually lives in the painting. Sometimes she leaves it, and appears in a dream. When you try to catch her you wake up and she’s back in the painting, not being able to remember her face.”
