“Tom Russell is Johnny Cash, Jim Harrison and Charles Bukowski rolled into one. I feel a great affinity with Tom Russell’s songs, for he’s writing out of the wounded heart of America.”
-Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Called "the greatest living country songwriter" by Rolling Stone, Tom Russell is a brilliant songwriter whose music is a powerful voice in the contemporary folk movement. His songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Joe Ely, Nancy Griffith, Dave Alvin and Doug Sahm. His career has spanned over 19 albums, including his new release, a collection of cowboy songs titled "Indians, Cowboys"."Tom Russell has been a pauper and a poet, but his steadfast refusal to be goaded into the role of pawn has consigned him to the fringes of both the rock and country scenes.
