about
Fans of Tim Wildsmith are starting to get used to change. His 2007 alternative pop release, A New Morning, was a radical leap from his debut, Come Out Clean, in 2005. And now, armed with a new band, he's changing things up even more on his new album Little Armor. Tim and his band, The Lost Cause, played their first show together in the fall of 2007. The band is made up of veterans Matthew Tobias on drums and Jason Burkum on bass, along with guitarists Jake Adams and Craig Hughes. Unlike his first two albums, where various studio musicians cut the tracks without ever playing the songs live, Little Armor is full of songs that came to life on stage long before they found the studio. For Tim, this is a fundamental change that completely revitalized his passion for creating music. "I never thought when I left Nashville for Omaha that I would be able to put together a band like this," says Wildsmith. "You can call it providence or even just dumb luck, but I'm not taking it for granted. These four guys have given me new life as an artist and a songwriter." Still, some things haven't changed much at all. The new songs lyrically maintain the vulnerability that audiences have come to love. Even at first listen, Wildsmith can make you feel like you've known him for years. His songs have a level of intimacy that you don't often find in pop music, but you still find yourself singing along. It's that blend of alternative and pop that makes him accessible to such a wide variety
