17 Ways (A tribute to Tom Stevens)
In late January the Long Ryders family lost Tom Stevens, our bassist since Christmas 1983. Tom was unique, a warm spirit, and a brilliant musician.
Here is bandmate Sid Griffin’s tribute to Tom Stevens. ‘Tis Sid’s version of Tom’s song 17 Ways which the Long Ryders demoed and was released by Tom on his solo album’s reissue, Points Revisited (MAIA Records, 1997).
The backing here is by Kevin Stokes. Thanks, Kev!
Written by Tom Stevens
Song published by Textbook Paranoia Music (BMI)
