Somewhere between the eccentricities of Alex Chilton, the lushness of Chris Bell, the drowsy swampiness of early Marc Benno, and the continully pleasing pop-ness of Tommy Keene lies the work of Tommy Hoehn.

On 2014's The Devil You Know, California bluesman Tommy Castro pared his band back to a quartet called The Painkillers and returned his guitar playing and singing to the forefront of his attack.

Tommy James (born Thomas Gregory Jackson, 29 April 1947, Dayton, Ohio) is an American pop-rock musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known as leader of the 1960s rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. Tommy currently resides in Monroe, Wisconsin. In 1958, when Tommy was eleven, his family moved to Niles, Michigan. In 1959, when he was twelve, James formed his first band called Tom and the Tornadoes. In 1963, the band changed their name to The Shondells. By 1964, a local DJ at WNIL radio station in Niles formed his own record label, Snap Records. The Shondells were one of the local bands the DJ recorded at WNIL studios. One of the songs was the Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich ditty "Hanky Panky," which was recorded as The Raindrops. The song was a hit locally, but the label had no resources for national promotion and it was soon forgotten.
