Tom McRae Projects


Tom McRae was once cast in an independent film as Gram Parson's ghost. Funding for the film fell through and all that remains is his screen test.Tom McRae also contributed a strikingly melancholic cover version of "Wonderful Christmastime" to a Christmas compilation CD: "Maybe This Christmas Tree" produced in 2004.In August 2005, Tom McRae visited the country of Niger in Africa at the request of The Observer and wrote an article about the famine titled, "This is not just another act of God - this is ingrained poverty".Tom McRae provided some of the vocals on "Lipstick", a 2008 single by "Wills and the Willing" having written parts of the song after listening to the original material. The song was written in response to the London bombings.Along with Bob Harris, Guy Clark and others, Tom McRae is one of the commentators on the film We Dreamed America, released as a DVD in 2008. This documentary examines the connections between British and American roots music.
