Tom
Russell
Americana singer/songwriter Tom Russell was raised on the cowboy music
of the American West. He grew up to be a talented songwriter, and began
issuing albums under his own name in the early 1970s. However, Russell's
material was also recorded by such luminaries as Johnny Cash, Guy Clark,
Dave Alvin, and Doug Sahm, and k.d. lang, to name but a few. While much
of Russell's work mined the country tradition, he was also known to flavor
his work with Tex-Mex, folk, and the cowboy music of his youth. He has
also published three books and a major exhibition of his artwork has been
mounted at Yard Dog Folk Art Gallery in Austin, Texas
