Tom Russell

Tom Russell is an original, a brilliant songwriter cut from genuine American roots, with a restless curiosity and extreme imagination. Long one of folk-country’s great storytellers, he is an underrated genius whose tales of border-town barrooms, ghost town landscapes, deserted highways, old time carnivals and one ring circuses have been covered by Nanci Griffiths, Suzy Boguss and k.d. lang.

Hailed by Uncut magazine as ‘the heir to Johnny Cash’ his bold sound is provocative: it is abrasive, it rocks, it is gentle, it is in your face, it is brilliant. Take a chance. There’s not much out there that feeds your brain as well as your musical soul.
