From classics like Blue Wing, Gallo del Cielo, Navajo Rug, and Outbound Plane, to newer songs like Guadalupe, and Who s Gonna Build Your Wall this volume is the only available anthology, in print, of all of Russell s finest songs and unpublished rarities. Each song includes an introduction and guitar chords, and the main introduction also includes details of Russell s brief encounters with Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
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 is writing out of the wounded heart of America.
The best songwriter of my generation raises and sets the bar for contemporary singer-songwriters.
Mike Regenstreif Montreal Gazette
Tom Russell is an original, a brilliant songwriter with a restless curiosity and an almost violent imagination.

I so admire his work. It s fine craft, and posey, none of which dwarfs its embracing humanity and urgings.

Boston Globe
