b'
My guest today is Tommy Womack A Singer-songwriter, author, humorist and Kentucky native Tommy Womack got his start in 1985 to 1992 with legendary Bowling Green based post-punk and college radio faves, Government Cheese (who\\u2019s story is immortalized in Tommy\\u2019s cult classic book \\u201cCheese Chronicles\\u201d).\\xa0
Upon moving to Nashville in 1992, Tommy\\u2019s become known for his long working relationship with Will Kimbrough, starting with their bands the bis-quits (who made one classic album for John Prine\\u2019s Oh Boy label in 1993), and their band Daddy, who have made two albums and enjoy a cult following.
Since 1998, Tommy has released seven solo albums, the latest being the brand-new \\u201cNamaste\\u201d. He looks forward to the back half of 2016 with new songs from that record to play, in addition to such proven past show-stoppers as \\u201cNice Day\\u201d, \\u201cVicky Smith Blues\\u201d and \\u201cAlpha Male & the Canine Mystery Blood.\\u201d
In addition to \\u201cCheese Chronicles\\u201d, Tommy is the author of the comic Civil War novella \\u201cThe Lavender Boys & Elsie\\u201d, and the recently published \\u201cDust Bunnies\\u201d. He has written for many magazines, including the Oxford American, and is a regular contributor to The East Nashvillian.
