It’s been a very hard road on a professional and personal level.

Both contexts of the song resonate with me. “The song represents the ultimate comeback story, in my opinion, after his legal troubles and he didn’t record again until he was 37 years old. “Freddy Fender, in general, represents the idea that it’s never too late to follow your dreams,” says Tom Bomb. The single is finding early radio support with NPR affiliated stations such as WXPN 88.5 FM in Philadelphia, PA for their “Americana Music Hour” show, WRKF 89.3 FM in Baton Rouge, LA and KRVS 88.7 FM in Lafayette, LA. Out today,- which follows the 15th anniversary date of Freddy Fender’s passing on October 14 - the song showcases Tom Bomb as a master of blending the past with the present.Īmericana Highways noted that “Tom Bomb selected the perfect aspect of our collective unconscious to interpret here in Freddy Fender’s song, and he does it with just the right balance of oomph and finesse.” The song serves as a reflection on the consequences of investing in a relationship that ultimately leaves one feeling empty.NASHVILLE, TN (October 15, 2021) - Florida-based emerging Americana artist Tom Bomb has brought the Freddy Fender Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart topper, “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights,” back to life.
