about

This was a collection that emerged from a series of dreams I'd been having, due to a medication I was required to take for a period of time. The dreams were strange, evocative, and sometimes disorienting and troubling, and others were euphoric. A lot of them involved being tossed around in the ocean, or slipping off the deck of a boat, into the water. According to psychologist Carl Jung, this often has something to do with the process of individuation - separating and defining oneself as an individual within the mass. I think some of my best stuff is here.

Tom Eaton is an ocean of beautiful music. It seems to flow from him effortlessly, but in fact he works long and hard to make lush, rich, beautiful, detailed listening experiences. Check him out. Tom Caufield

good light to go by
by Vin Downes

For me, this is everything an acoustic fingerstyle guitar album should be: absorbing, melodic, warm, accomplished, emotional. One of the best guitar albums I've ever heard. In a class of its own. Tom Caufield
