Description
A compelling walk through the song library of one of America's greatest songwriters. The world's best singers have paid their respects to Tom Russell over the years and a strong cross section is included here. From Johnny Cash's amazing take on "Veteran's Day" to Suzy Boguss' hit version of "Outbound Plane", from Dave Alvin's growling "Blue Wing" to beat poet legend Lawrence Ferlinghetti's absolute cool reading of "Stealing Electricity" and Doug Sahm's "St. Olav's Gate", Tom's genius shines through.
Bonus tracks include Tom's own recording of "Who's Gonna Build Your Wall", his personal commentary on the illegal immigration issue which he performed to a huge crowd and critics reaction at the Cambridge Folk Festival 2006 and has previously only been available on a limited edition EP. Also "The Death Of Jimmy Martin", the rocking "Home Before Dark" and a great rave up version of "Cuban Sandwich" with Barrence Whitfield on vocals and Amos Garrett on guitar. -
