Tom Baxter is a singer-songwriter based in London. Born in Suffolk, he grew up in Cornwall, with both parents regulars on the folk music circuit. After moving to London at age 19 to attend music college, he spent many years on the gig circuit before a successful residency at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush brought him to the attention of record labels.
A self-titled EP was released in May 2004 containing the tracks Joanna, Half a Man and My Declaration. The latter song was to become the second single from his debut album Feather and Stone, following the single This Boy.
Feather and Stone was released by Sony International in October 2004 to critical acclaim, and was a regular feature on Radio 2’s playlist. It was followed by a headlining UK tour. The most common comparisons made to other artists include Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake.
His latest single “Better” was released in Dec 2007, and received airplay across the Atlantic due to it’s inclusion in the film “Run, Fat Boy, Run”.
The second album “Skybound” was released 7th Jan 2008

Tom's version of Better is far superior to Boyzone's. Their version has only got coverage because of the so called controversial video.

when i heard boyzones version, i found myself singing along but couldnt place why, probably because their version doesn't sound half as good as the original..an ultimate beach tune-made for relaxing
