  • Description

    The definitive Tom Russell collection featuring 14 of his best loved songs re-recorded and 3 brand new numbers. Features guest appearences from JIMMIE DALE GILMORE, DAVE ALVIN, IRIS DEMENT, NANCI GRIFFITH and KATY MOFFATT. Tom's songs deal with colourful characters, often on the fringe of society, who face a crisis of conscience, or otherwise, who run the gauntlet of life and somehow manage to (usually) come out the other side.

    By combining his folk, rock, blues and honkytonk influences with the strength of his powerful songs, Tom Russell has crafted in "The Long Way Around" his strongest collection to date, one which will stake his claim as a master American storyteller.
