 Way better than I expected! Jan 25, 2010
I am not (yet at least) a fan of Rage Against the Machine. I am definitely a new fan of Tom Morello. No, he does not have a naturally great voice, but it suits the songs on this CD quite well. It reminds me of something along the lines which Bruce Springsteen might do as a solo project. Damn, I had the chance to see Tom Morello perform this music in SF a couple of years. He was headlining and I didn't know who he was and the opening act was Ike Reilly, who is one of my favorite artists. "The Road I Must Travel" is currently my favorite cut on this CD. If you're a RATM fan and you're looking to get blown away by Morello's guitar work, this CD will likely be a huge disappointment to you. On the other hand, if you're a fan of great socially progressive folk music, I highly suggest that you give this CD a listen to. What is great is, I now have another artist to look forward to seeing and hearing live. Thanks Tom!
 Great CD Sep 04, 2009
Definitely a change of pace when it comes to Tom Morello's style, but for fans of many different music genres and fans of Tom himself, this is a great album and I would recommend picking it up.
A One Man Revolution - you bet. Brilliant Jul 15, 2009
My son introduced me to RATM, and I liked quite a few of their songs. Great vocals from Zac, but it was Tom morello's guitar work that made me take note.
Now we move on to this first solo release from Tom. I actually bought it for my son, however he didnt really pay much attention to it. So - I thought, OK - I'll give this a listen. Well after couple of plays I am totally hooked on it. It is absolutely brilliant.
Music with something to say. The instrumentation is sparse, but thats how it should be - its the message he's trying to get across.
Woody Guthrie would be so proud, Tom take a bow.
Oh yeh - my son's not getting this CD back !!
Awesome Jul 14, 2009
Growing up I was a huge Rage Against the Machine fan, and I still am, but not as rabid about them anymore. The Nightwatchman is like Rage for grownups. Angry folk music in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Marley, and Springsteen. This Album is an amazing debut. We need more socially aware music like this today. If you like this album I also the recommend the Axis of Justice Concert Series Vol. 1. Tom Morello is the man. When Rage broke up and Audioslave was formed I almost gave up on Tom, but the Nightwatchman is the Perfect incarnation for him. "Take it easy, but take it." - Tom Morello

 Mediocre recyclyed generic sappy embarrassingly pompous crap Oct 09, 2008
We appreciate the effort, but ehhhhhhh, just no more please. Yes, its folk music, if you call it that. But every riff has been done before and his vocals are a boring monotone droning with repetitive tones. I don't know if this album was released as a farce or as a serious moving piece. Whatever, it comes across as a conceited fist pumping revolutionary record for the poor and ravaged made by a rich bored rock star with ripped jeans trying to relate. Please, no more silly albums released that should be kept as personal recordings at home.
