 | Song of the West: The Cowboy Collection [Read More ...]
Review: Song of the West: The Cowboy Collection:This is the best I have heard since the folk scare of the early 60s. I see a couple of Ian Tysons songs that Tom does a great job on. The truthfulness and originalty of Toms presentation alone or with harmony and a guitar revitalized my hop... |

 | Cowboy Real [Read More ...]
Review: Real Cowboy Album:I basically came to know him through Ian Tyson's songs, who he follows, I guess. I love all the songs in this album and Tom's presentations. His harsh and yoodeling voice is just magnificent. Also, he is singing some raw, bold, and bloody history of the West. As... |

Review: Excellent, but probably not his best.:Tom Russell is simply one of the best songwriter/poets out there. However, for a first alblum, I would buy The Long Way Around which is a compilation of many of his best songs, or his most recent offering, Love and Fear. On this album, "Blo... |

Review: This One's For The Ages!:I remember working for a country station back in 90-91 south of Boston...we played a fair amount of folkish, traditional country along with the usual stuff (something that'd never be permitted in commercial radio today). Russell was a respected writer by... |
 | Road to Bayamon [Read More ...]
Review: Probably his best:All of Tom's albums are quite good, so it's difficult to choose one to call his most essential. I always, however, keep coming back to this one. The quality of the songwriting is unparalleled, as are the arrangements and playing. The thing that sets this one ap... |
