1	The Long Way Around (Acoustic Collection) (1997) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Tom Russell has been releasing terrific records without pause since the mid-'70s, and this acoustic, mostly live retrospective package may be the best of the bunch. In fact, after listening to its 17 tracks -- which include duets with Nanci Griffith, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and others -- the only remaining question about Russell is: Why isn't this ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.33!
2	Song of the West: The Cowboy Collection (1997) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Along with The Long Way Around, another acoustic package also released in 1997, Song of the West was Tom Russell's attempt to sum up the previous ten years of his career on two newly recorded CDs. This package, which he calls "our definitive cowboy collection," focuses on his best-loved covers and originals about life in the Southwest. Among the ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.03!
3	Steel Rails: Classic Railroad Songs, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist As long as railroads have existed, there have been songs sung about them, whether to praise their wonders, tell stories, or condemn them as tools of evil. Steel Rails and its companion volume, Mystery Train, set out to sample this particular vein of American song, offering up versions of "Wabash Cannonball" and "The Orange Blossom Special" (an ... see all copies from $11.92! new only from $11.92!
4	Wounded Heart of America (2007) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist When is a Tom Russell record not really a Tom Russell record? When it's Wounded Heart of America. From the title it seems Russell is starting to take himself a bit seriously, even if it is taken from a quote by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. This 18-song set contains 14 covers of tunes written or co-authored by Russell. They were recorded by ... see all copies from $13.96! new only from $13.96!
5	Tulare Dust: Tribute to Merle Haggard (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you've been paying any attention at all, you know Merle Haggard ranks among the best singers country music has ever produced. What you might not realize is that he's also one of the genre's finest songwriters. For evidence, just listen to this tribute album, which finds a motley crew of roots artists performing 15 of their favorite Haggard ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $7.88!
6	Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs (2004) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist As its title suggests, Tom Russell's Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs finds him returning to the sound of the Southwest and the Old West in a combination of originals and covers. He has dug into his record collection and found a clutch of appropriate material including Marty Robbins' "El Paso," Peter La Farge's "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" (prefaced by ... see all copies from $9.74! new only from $9.74!
7	The Rose of the San Joaquin (1995) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Tom Russell has grown consistently in the course of his many albums into one of the most articulate singer/songwriters on the country side of the tracks. His efforts with Barance Whitfield and earlier incarnations of the Tom Russell Band have guitar work by Tom's longtime partner Andrew Hardin. On this record, however, Russell has chosen, along ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $11.33!
8	Love and Fear (2006) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Tom Russell has been slugging it out on the unpaved singer/songwriter road to oblivion for decades. He's been through crooked promoters, bad label deals, playing in dives, and crummy travel accommodations. Russell likes to be paid, and paid well, but he's down in the dregs of the music biz using it for another purpose: all this time he's been ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $11.33!
9	Hotwalker (2005) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Songwriter Tom Russell has long been possessed by the ghosts and places of history, big and small, from William Faulkner and outlaw Claude Dallas to Jack Johnson, Little Willie John and Bill Haley, from Manzanar to Begenfield. There are also dozens of nameless, faceless denizens barely hanging on to the fringes on both sides of the border, cheated ... see all copies from $11.33! new only from $11.33!
10	Modern Art (2003) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Modern Art has to be the most confounding recording in Tom Russell's catalog. That he is a songwriter of epic proportion there can be no doubt. His decision here to issue a recording of half originals/co-writes and half covers, three of which are basically epitaphs (including one of questionable taste), is just the beginning of what makes it ... see all copies from $11.28! new only from $11.28!
11	Road to Bayamon (1988) more music like this by Tom Russell Band add to wishlist Good luck trying to pigeonhole Tom Russell based on the fine Road to Bayamon, which manages to sound cohesive while wandering all over the musical map. "Home Before Dark," one of several numbers here that he later re-recorded with country-soul singer Barrence Whitfield, is a radio-ready rocker, with a great hook and prominent guitar; the vocal and ... see all copies from $36.20!
12	Poor Man's Dream (1990) more music like this by Tom Russell Band add to wishlist One of Russell's best albums, Poor Man's Dream is dominated by inspired folk/rock performances and by songs that sound like classics that have been around forever. In fact, Russell wrote 11 of the dozen tracks within a few years of the disc's release (though he had help on a few numbers from the likes of Katy Moffatt, Nancy Griffith, and Ian Tyson ... see all copies from $100.00! new only from $100.00!
13	Borderland (2001) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Tom Russell proves once again to be perhaps the finest American folk-roots artist that most Americans never heard of. The title of this latest collection reflects a focus on the El Paso-Juarez area, but also on emotional geography and the borders between a man and a woman. Some of the skillfully told stories are clearly autobiographical; all of ... see all copies from $16.42! new only from $16.42!
14	20 Years of Stony Plain (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Twenty years is a remarkable track record for any independent label living in the modern age, let alone one that specializes in never-commercially-fashionable roots music while working from the industry Mecca of Edmonton, Alberta. As committed and timeless as keynote artists Ian Tyson, Cindy Church, Amos Garrett, Maria Muldaur, Dutch Mason, Long ... see all copies from $16.56! new only from $16.56!
15	Seka: Sister, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16	Folkscene Collection, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Like its highly recommended predecessor, Folkscene Collection, Vol. 2 captures live-on-the-air performances from Folkscene, the acclaimed L.A. radio show. And since more than 1,500 such performances have aired during the program's 30-year history, it's no surprise that the producers didn't run out of good material on volume one. Far from it. ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $13.96!
17	Kerrville Folk Festival: 1995 Highlights (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Kerrville Folk Festival: 1995 Highlights gathers performances from a number of contemporary folk's finest, including Dar Williams, Tom Russell, Cheryl Wheeler, Caroline Aiken, Jimmy LaFave, and more. While some of the material here may be a little standard-issue, by and large the performances are committed and energetic. ~ Steve Huey, All Music ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $9.13!
18	Best of Woodsongs, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Best of Woodsongs, Vol. 1 features 17 performances originally broadcasted on folksinger Michael Johnathon's Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour. Featured performances include Acoustic Eidolon's "Eidolon," Hart Rouge's "Mic Mac Song," and Josh White, Jr.'s "One Meatball," in addition to 14 others. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.22!
19	Cowboy Real (1991) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Fans of folksinger Tom Russell won't be surprised to learn that his father was an Iowa horse trader or that his brother is a rancher and cattle supplier; all of his albums leave little doubt that he has the cowboy spirit in his blood. This particular album leaves less doubt than most, though, since Russell focuses exclusively here on his favorite ... see all copies from $29.94!
20	Uprooted: The Best of Roots Country Singer/Songwriters (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $5.69!
21	Texas Boogie: A Collection of Texas Songs (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $4.69! new only from $4.69!
22	Philo So Far: The 20th Anniversary Folk Sampler (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.65!
23	The Man from God Knows Where (1999) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist Tom Russell had been releasing great records for about 25 years by the time he issued this album, but he outdoes himself here. Eight years in the making, The Man from God Knows Where is a song cycle inspired by America's pioneers and, particularly, Russell's own immigrant ancestors; but it probably comes at least as much from the artist's ... see all copies from $11.33! new only from $11.33!
24	Veteran's Day: The Tom Russell Anthology (2008) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist So this is what it comes to: Shout Factory does Hightone's songwriters. For those who don't know, Oakland, CA's defunct Hightone Records was a small independent that focused on blues -- its debut release was Robert Cray's Bad Influence in 1983 -- and eventually spread itself to include all kinds of roots music including, country, rockabilly, and ... see all copies from $18.45! new only from $18.45!
25	Blood and Candle Smoke (2009) more music like this by Tom Russell add to wishlist On 19 previous albums, songwriter Tom Russell has told stories about secret histories and compelling, desperate characters along the way. He's written about William Faulkner in Hollywood, the camps at Manzanar, a prisoner in Washington State whose cellmate was Little Willie John, and name-checked -- without artifice -- everyone from to Archie ... see all copies from $13.86! new only from $13.86!
