Extolling the virtues of “Speed, Weed, and Alcohol” as a way to ‘make sense of it all”, Tommy Womack rides into his recent release, Live a Little with a satchel full of the observations and opinions of a wise elder in the music maelstrom. Produced by Eric Ambel, who refers to the mood and tone of Live a Little as ‘reflective’, the recordings embed a Rock’n’Roll angst into the music that supports Tommy’s songs of wry irony that boast humorous views of life’s pitfalls and successes. A hammering beat propels Tommy Womack as he stands “Underneath the Water Tower Again” while he wears the skin of a “Horny Mormon” and wrangles a Country ramble when he sits high in the saddle to relate a personal resume in “Ten Feet Tall”.
 
Deliberating adopting a provocative stance, Tommy Womack becomes the ‘gun nut’ spinning a tale from the persona of a gun owner in “Just Another Shooting” as he relates his take on life’s experiences with “Waiting for the Punchline”. A shuffling rhythm cruises underneath Live a Little as it travels to “Hoboken”, slowing the beat for the tender admissions of “If I Could, I’d Pay Your Pain to Go Away” as a raucous groove propels the requests in “A Little Helo Here!”. The playing quiets when Tommy Womack sits gazing at the coffin of a friend admitting “I Guess We’re at That Age”, keeping the theme in place as he exits Live a Little with “Funeral Girl”.
