CL RECOMMENDS
CL’s Hal Horowitz Recommends: Folk music is filled with a litany of traveling “ramblin’ man” (and woman) musicians, but one of the most storied is Tom Russell. He turned professional in the 70’s but his first solo release was in 1984 and he hasn’t stopped since. His wildly varied catalog includes concept albums, tribute discs and work with nearly every other troubadour of his genre, from Dave Alvin to Johnny Cash. At 75 he’s gotta be slowing down soon, so don’t miss this chance to see a well-traveled master at work. — HH
From the venue:
Tom Russell’s latest recording of original compositions, October in the Railroad Earth, is set for CD and vinyl release March 15, 2019, on Frontera Records in North America and Proper Records for the rest of the world. He describes the songs and sound as “Jack Kerouac meets Johnny Cash in Bakersfield.”
