Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful summer. The weather is beautiful out here in Southern California. I wanted to let you all know that my new album, The Rock Garden has just been released. You can purchase the album at the GoDigital Music Store, as well as other online retailers such as iTunes, Rhapsody, and eMusic.

It's been 11 months to be exact since the last update! A lot has happened, since then I've signed with GoDigital Records and in August did a digital rerelease of Here Comes Memory. Thank you to everyone who supported it and iTunes for all the love. In October we recently released Time Between! Here's the press release for Time Between . Watch out for 2007, and happy holidays everyone!

Well I was not aware we had fans in Scandinavia. Although, since I do not speak any of the Scandinavian languages, I can't even be sure if it is a positive review. If anyone can translate this review, send me an English version please.

If you happen to read Dutch, check out this review at the altcountry site...they measure quality in horses not stars. Very cool. If you can translate this review, please send me a version in English.

Well folks, it's official. We wanted let our legions of devoted supporters know about a big accomplishment. Out of countless singer/songwriters that made it through the doors of XM Radio this year, Tom Langford was nominated as one of three "BEST NEW ACOUSTIC ARTISTS." Furthermore, the noble and loftiest KATE BRADLEY placed HERE COMES MEMORY on her TOP 5 LIST for 2005. Truly a stunning moment for us here. We are grateful. We are humbled. God bless XM Radio.

Another review out now in the latest issue of Performing Songwriter magazine. If you can't pick up a copy...maybe just visit www.performingsongwriter.com and go to the "Top 12 DIY Picks" link. Out of billions of submissions, "Satellites" was knighted with this illustrious Top 12 honor. We are so proud.

Howdy folks! 2004 has been a great year and I am very happy to see a small tip o the hat from a well-respected and widely read magazine like PASTE.

"Langford has released his sophomore album, which falls somewhere between Nick Drake's fragile beauty and Leonard Cohen's wry, literary folk."
