Leslie Tom Announces New Self-Titled EP

(Skye) Country singer-songwriter Leslie Tom has announced that she will be releasing her new self-titled EP on February 17, 2017. It will follow her Veteran's Day single "Didn't Think Twice." We were sent these details:

Produced by John Macy (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Richie Furay, Los Lobos) and recorded at Cinderella Sound in Nashville, the record features a veritable "who's-who" of legendary session players, including Lloyd Green on pedal steel, Country Music Hall-of-Famer Hargus "Pig" Robbins on keys, and long-time Garth Brooks guitarist Chris Leuzinger, among others.

The EP also features a dusty-road duet with rising country star Kevin Moon on the song "My Only Addiction." "What I love about the EP is that it's the first record I've done where I've co-written all but one song on it," says Leslie. "I have stayed very close to my traditional country roots."

Leslie Tom will come out on the heels of her latest single, "Didn't Think Twice" (an alternate version of which will be available on the forthcoming EP). "Didn't Think Twice" was released on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2016. The song is a moving tribute to her grandfather, Milton Smallwood Alexander, and his service during World War II in Normandy, as well as a document of the sacrifices those serving tours of duty in our armed forces still make today on behalf of their country; it features guest vocals by ex-Navy SEAL Pete Scobell. All proceeds from the sale of the single go to the Travis Manion Foundation (www.travismanion.org), a non-profit organization empowering veterans and the families of fallen soldiers.
