From The Soil To The Soul pulses with Tommy's distinctive organic, atmospheric sound, yet this time with a heavier resonance. Beasties-infused stripped down is layered with Americana, heavy psych, lo-fi fuzz and Latin rhythms, all with a breezy, laid-back vibe. Recorded primarily in his home studio Guerrero wrote, arranged and played nearly all the instruments on the album, including bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and kalimba. Renowned street artist Barry McGee, aka Twist, designed the cover art and Tommy called on friends , Curumin and Bing Ji Ling for guest vocals. Guerrero's résumé reads like a dream: he was a member of the Bones Brigade skate team in the 80's, made movie appearances, co-founded Real Skateboards and 40's Clothing, directed art for Krooked and is a prolific recording artist - from the “Fat Jazzy Grooves” and “Another Late Night” compilations, to albums for Mo'Wax, Galaxia, Function 8, Quannum, Rush [Japan] and now his own venture Too Good.

What they say…

Tommy combines funk, Americana, lo-fi fuzz and latin rhythms with a classic laid-back San Francisco vibe. ~ Amazon.com

Another prime offering of dusty breaks and laidback guitar lines from San Franciscan Mo'Wax graduate Tommy Guerrero. From The Soil To The Soil features sweetly produced hip hop blues in the shape of 'The Under Dog' and Meters-style organ and guitar rhythm tracks like 'War No More'. There really isn't anyone out there who sounds quite like Tommy Guerrero. ~ Boomkat

Guerrero’s most important musical gift is… the unabashed passion he demonstrates for his craft. Listening to the album, one feels that Guerrero’s only goal was following his heart and putting together a collection of tracks that reflect the sunny sounds of his favorite music, his sport, and his city. His enthusiasm is infectious. From the Soil to the Soul is an album that will challenge hard-hearted critics, delight faithful fans, and offer great pleasure to anyone who loves music. ~ Popmatters

There's a smooth West Coast vibe that runs through the entire album… but From the Soil to the Soul is also darker than anything Guerrero has made before, with heavy basslines that drive the songs along, funky and warm ... Guerrero has become quite adept at layering all the various elements in his music without overwhelming it, allowing space. ~ All Music Guide
