Tommy Rivers, a rocker and balladeer from Atlanta (Georgia), knew how to give songs an epic twist. He has released Tommy Rivers And The Hellhounds (December, 1991), Run Run Rudolph (Sister Ruby, 1994), A Man You Don't Meet Everyday (Eddies Antic, 1996), Tommy Rivers And The Raq Ramps (December, 2002), Night (DeSavino, 2003).

Fountain Of Youth (December, 2004) is typical of his enthusiastic style, that continuously homages the classics: the Stooges (Ponce de Leon Avenue sounds like Iggy Pop fronting a noisy southern-rock combo), the Rolling Stones (Can't Believe What You Read), Bob Dylan (Try'n like A Fool), Tina Turner (Overdue, reminiscent of Nutbush before it turns into a frenzied rock'n'roll).
