O’s Notes: Thom plays guitar and wrote all but one of the songs on this CD. We liked “When Things Fall Apart” including a cool bass solo from Trey Henry and the swinging “Wes Coasting” an obvious tribute to Wes Montgomery. On the second half of the CD special guests make a good thing great. Lynne Fiddmount adds seductive vocals on “Then I Met You”. Rob MacDonald sings two selections notably “Believe In You” and the venerable Mads Tolling plays violin on “Rhonda”. Douvan brings it all together making All Over Again a very good set.
