TrueTunes, @45RPM. Creativity Will Save The World with Tom Willett (12-inch Extended Mix). October 12, 2022.
Tom Willett’s roots go back to the counterculture of the 60s. He played bass in one of the earliest “Gospel Rock” bands (Sons of Thunder) and worked alongside artists such as T Bone Burnett, Tonio K, Mark Heard, The Choir, Sam Phillips, Phil Keaggy, and many others as an A&R rep, marketing man, and career coach. He has also spent decades as a teacher, helping college students as they sought to carve out meaningful careers as songwriters, artists, or future industry leaders.
Since his retirement from the industry a few years ago, Tom has been writing some amazing books – and on this special “12 Inch extended dance mix” 45 RPM episode of the podcast, which was recorded at the historic Well Koinonia Coffeehouse on Music Row in Nashville, we hear about his latest, Creativity Will Save The World: Toward A Spiritual Humanism – a short but powerful primer on the writings of Russian philosopher and activist Nicholas Alexandrovich Berdyaev. Whether you are an artist yourself or are simply interested in how our engagement with creativity and created things can shape us, this is critical stuff.
