“Cool Blue Light is the fourth CD by Alaska native Tom Begich, and in my opinion, is his best so far. Begich is an authentic troubadour, crisscrossing the country, playing at small venues and house concerts, and obviously gathering on a first hand basis much of the material that makes its way into his songs.

“Cool Blue Light is a well engineered and packaged product, and should bring Tom a whole lot of new fans...If it's your good fortune to have him show up in your neck of the woods, he is well worth the effort to go and see. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give Cool Blue Light a nine and a half.”
—Ron Young FolkWorks

“Leave the glaring limelight for others; Tom Begich prefers a more subtle hue. And the singer-songwriter explores that idea on his latest disc, “Cool Blue Light.” The lyrics and music suggest rather than demand, inviting the listener to pause and reminisce on life, if just for the moment, and find romance in the shadow of humanity while quietly dabbling in every day situations.”
