Against the Grain is the collaborative effort of long-time friends Tom Boyd and Tommy Morgan. A unique pairing of oboe and harmonica, the soulful, vocal quality is well suited to this repertoire of familiar Christmas songs. Buy just one and send it to a friend, your relatives, your parents and or Grandparents. It just might make their Christmas a bit more joyful. The combination of these two instruments was something even Tom and Tommy had know idea would work but does and it is so Against the Grain.
If you have ever seen Forrest Gump, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Jurassic Park I, II and III, King Kong, Lady in the Water, Spider Man, Steel Magnolia, Amistad, Prince of Tides, and Robin Hood [Prince of Thieves] you have already heard the rich sounds of Tom Boyd’s oboe. You can also hear him often on the Simpsons with the wonderful music written by Alf Clausen. With over one thousand soundtracks to his credit, he can be heard all over the world.

This project has provided Tom and Tommy with an innovative opportunity to bring forth these gentle songs of these two albums in a truly elegant style. You will always remember Tommy''s Harmonica playing throuhout the Carpenter''s famous song "Rainy Days and Monday".
