Tom Russell - October in the Railroad Earth [CD]

Singer-songwriter, painter, and essayist Tom Russell describes the songs and sound as: "Jack Kerouac meets Johnny Cash... in Bakersfield." There are ten new original Tom Russell songs, including the title song from the Irish film Small Engine Repair, featuring Bill Kirchen on lead electric guitar and Eliza Gilkyson singing backup. The GRAMMY-Award winning Texmaniacs appear on Isadore Gonzalez, a track about a Mexican cowboy who died in England during Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. A wonderful ride from stories through time and space from an American treasure.
