 "rugged, dredged-from-the-bayou-depths vocals and oft-bleak songs that  fuse psychedelia, folk, blues and soul" 9/10 Exclaim!
 "like the musical love child of Dr. John, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. . Zen-biker musings .comforting layers of lumpy noir blues,
> flute-fluttered lounge jazz, rustic fingerpicked folk and noisy

> In 1997 Tom Wilson (aka, Lee Harvey Osmond) and filmmaker Jeth  Weinrich partnered together to produce the Juno Award winning video  for "Burned Out  Car", tenderly illustrating the brutality of life on  Vancouver's East Hastings Street. Today, after 19 years of following  art on their own individual journeys, they are together again revealing their latest collaborative project, Where The Dirt Ends The  Love Begins., a trilogy of  short films set to the music of Lee Harvey Osmond's latest album, Beautiful Scars.
>
 Set in Mexico, the trilogy chronicles a series of dreams about the day  to  day to dust journey of love. Weinrich settles into the city and  brings together a collection of characters, including law students,  gang members, housewives, and street hustlers to fill out a seductive and sometimes bleak picture of what love brings to us and what love  love. The music from Beautiful Scars supplies the inspiration and adds to the vibrant story Weinrich
> tells with the film.

> Lee Harvey Osmond Canadian tour dates continues this week with  upcoming performances Sherwood Park, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Calgary,  Vancouver and more. Tom Wilson will also join the Art Of Time Ensemble  in December in Toronto.
 All three Lee Harvey Osmond albums (A Quiet Evil, The Folk Sinner,  Beautiful Scars) have been listed for the Polaris Music Prize as well as Blackie  And  The Rodeo Kings' 2011 album Kings And Queens of which Wilson is a  founding member and contributing songwriter. Tom Wilson recently  signed a deal with Random House for the publishing of his first book  and recently visited CBC q to talk about it and to debut a new Miriam  Toews-inspired song live in front of the award winning author and an  international radio audience.
>
> Produced by Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) in the intimacy of his  Toronto Roncesvalle studio, the humanity of Beautiful Scars is like  the warmth of blood that rushes to the cut: a sudden alive jolt in the > middle of peril and uncertainty; a suspension of possibility that  anything can happen next. Redolent with swooning horns and guitars  that bob and weave, Lee Harvey Osmond's voice - forever the hallmark  of his sound which spans over three decades of work - sounds, here,  like a warm hand to the forehead, an arm on the arm of the stricken, a  comforting growl at the heart of a screaming  world.
 At once evoking Howlin' Wolf, Mike Scott and Roy Loney, Beautiful  Scars bends and twists and stretches and squeezes Lee Harvey Osmond's  deep baritone - the producer treating it as if caged in a transistor  radio, bathed in echo from above, or sunk in the muck of distortion. The strength of the songs notwithstanding, Beautiful Scars is a  fascinating vocal journey to rank among the great sonic Canadian records
of our time.
