Tommy Womack/Sands & Hearn

Like all the albums in singer-songwriter Tommy Womack’s catalog, Namaste features a bit of everything. The album opens with tender, twangy ballad “Angel,” a song that finds Womack singing in an upper-register as he croons “angel, you got me on my knees/I got problems.” Womack even adopts a Tom Petty-like sneer for the mid-tempo “The End of the Line.” Inspired by a near-death experience, the album finds Womack at the top of his game.
