TOM RUSSELL:
For over four decades and 28 album releases Tom Russell
has continued to live up to his status as "one of the best singer-songwriters of our time" (Washington Post). His previous two studio releases, Blood and Candle Smoke (2009) and Mesabi(2011), are considered his strongest composed works yet and were,in part, recorded with the groundbreaking roots band Calexico. In the 1990s, Russell and Dave Alvin were hailed as the architects of what came to be known as "Americana" music after their Merle Haggard tribute, Tulare Dust, initiated the Americana
charts in the U.S. and remained number one for a year. Russell's previous release, Aztec Jazz (2013), moved Americana into a new realm and his acclaimed song catalog into uncharted territory.
Tom Russell's songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash,
Doug Sahm, Nanci Griffith, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dave Alvin,Joe Ely, and others.
