Tom House (born 1949 in Durham, North Carolina) is an American singer-songwriter and poet whose music combines elements of country, singer-songwriter, and folk.[1][2][3]
House wrote hundreds of poems during the two decades before 1997. Of these, three had been included in The Bicentennial Edition of the Tennessee Anthology of Poetry.[4] From 1982 to 1988, he edited and published the journal raw bone, which was known for publishing spare, brutal writing.[3] House's first recording to be released was "The Hank Williams Memorial Myth", a spoken-word intro to the 1996 compilation album Nashville: The Other Side Of The Alley.[5] In 1997, he released his debut album, The Neighborhood Is Changing, on Checkered Past Records.[6] The album featured multiple members of Lambchop.[7] As of 2012, he had released a total of 13 albums.[1]
