"Sung with resonant soulfulness, the evocatively melancholy title track [Flatlands] ought to become the Midwest's national anthem." -Village Voice
Flatlands (2008) is the third studio release from songwriter Blake Thomas. The Isthmus calls it "a must for country and folk fans" and picked it as "country album of the year." It rides on the heels of Thomas' two previous releases: 40 Minutes (2006) "a near-flawless balance of excellent musicianship, his gorgeous, occasionally shiver-inducing voice and smart songwriting." -Rick's Cafe; Real Like Theater (2005) the winner of Best Folk/Bluegrass/Americana Album at the 2006 MAMA awards... Thomas, born in Minnesota, literally worked his way up from the bottom when, at 19, he moved east and began his career busking in the subways of Boston. He spent the following years traveling, grinding through the club circuit and honing his craft while sharing the stage with Leon Russell, Greg Brown, Pieta Brown, Peter Mulvey, The Honeydogs, Holly Golightly, Ben Taylor, Tom Russell, Jon Dee Graham & others. Thomas currently lives, tours and teaches out of Madison, WI.
