Music Preview: Bill Toms turns up electricity on new Hard Rain CD

Thursday, October 20, 2005

By Ed Masley , Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Bill Toms could have called Hard Rain's new album "Harder Rain," kicking it off as he does with a street-tough bar-rock anthem fueled by Joffo Simmons' pounding Motor City beat, a fierce garage-rock riff on distorted electric guitar and Toms' impassioned vocals growling out the story of a faded boxing champ getting drunk at the neighborhood bar.

Produced by Rick Witkowski, "One Lonesome Moment" is filled with sketches of characters real and imagined. "Gilbert Connolly" is drawn from Toms' memory of a homeless man he used to see while going to technical school in Pittsburgh 20 years ago. "At the Grave of Rosey O'Leary" is a fictional account of two unrequited lovers. "How Much More Can We Endure" was inspired by news footage Toms saw of black protestors being attacked by white supremacists.

Twenty-some years into living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, Hard Rain's Bill Toms has emerged from all those early morning drives with a healthier perspective on his dream, a perspective that fuels a number of the hardest-hitting tracks on Hard Rain's latest effort, "This Old World."
