Paid In Full (2008)
A collection of new songs written by Gaylord Sturgess and Tom Autry. The title song, as well as others on this cd, is a powerful witnessing tool when placed in the ears of the skeptic or unbeliever.
The music was produced using a Mac and Pro Tools in a non-studio environment. Gaylord sings the backup vocals....other harmonies from the digital Vocalist.

Mockingbird (1982)
Arranged and produced by Tom Autry and Randy Adams, musicians include Fletch Wiley-flute, Jerry McPherson-guitar, Dan Smith-bass, Pat Bautz-drums, Hadley Hockensmith-guitar, Darrell Cook-bass, Keith Edwards-drums, Randy Adams-bass, Robert Herridge-harmonica, Larry Slezak-sax, and Tom Autry-keyboards.
Singers were Randy Adams, Harvest(Jerry Williams and Ed Kerr), Marty McCall (First Call), Rick Crawford, Susan Autry-Chiboroski, and Craig Smith
Art and album design by Paul Annan.
"Mockingbird", includes two songs co-written with Dr. Ron Stone, then Tom's pastor. On two occasions on Saturday night Ron came to Tom's house with his sermon outline for that Sunday morning and together they wrote the songs, "Peter" and "Like A Child".
"Afterglow" was inspired during the short but incredible ministry time with David Wilkerson in his Alaska crusade. The "afterglow" time after hundreds of people came forward at the end of Brother Dave's preaching was a special, precious time as the people realized the change in the condition of their souls!
"More Than We Can Say" was written as a farewell song to the wonderful friends in Uvalde who were such a blessing, support, and encouragement. (They made "Mockingbird" possible!) Tom's daughter, Susan Autry-Chiboroski, sang with him on this song.

Tom Autry (1974)
The very first Star Song Records project, SSR-0001, was produced by Spike Bailey, Wayne Donowho, Darrell Harris, and Tom Autry. Wayne Donowho and Darrell Harris teamed up to start a new label. They were in Pasadena, Texas, where they eventually built the Star Song studio, Rivendell. "Tom Autry", SSR-0001, was recorded in Garland, Texas, at the then new Autumn Sound Studios. Glen Pace and Phil York engineered the project which included some really great musicians including Paul Leim-drums, James Pritchett- accoustic guitar, Ernie Chapman-bass, Fletch Wiley-flute, trumpet, and flugel horn, Al Perkins-steel guitar and lead guitar, Mickey Raphael-harmonica, and Tom Autry-keyboards.
The project was mastered by Al Perkins at ABC Recording, Los Angeles, California. Photography by Bob Thigpen.
The album was a fresh, sincere, and simple musical expression of Tom's love and devotion to his Savior.
Star Song grew to become one of the leading contemporary labels in the Christian music arena with such artists as Fletch Wiley, Jim Gill, Randy Adams, Phil Keaggy, Petra, Resurrection Band, Craig Smith, Twila Paris, Mylon LaFevre and others.

A seasoned pioneer of contemporary music, Tom has been ministering as an "indie" for many years. He was the original Star Song Records artist with three projects dating back to 1974.
He writes most of his music with writing partner, Gaylord Sturgess, a tremendous tenor singer who has been with the Gospelaires for many years.
Tom's music is difficult to categorize because of the various styles but one thing becomes obvious to the seeker of God's presence and that is His anointing on Tom's songs, playing, and singing.
Tom has traveled extensively with his wife, Janie, who sings and ministers with him mostly in churches.
