There is an interesting and informative link on Tom Russell's Facebook site to the folksinger Rosalie Sorrels.

An interesting article from the Yale Daily News.

Hello Kush,

I really enjoyed watching the clips. I hate to say this but I can remember when ''I Can't Stop Loving You' came out. I didn't buy the 45 but I bought the follow up, 'You Don't Know Me.'

Time flies!

Highway 46.

I know I have posted this song before but there is now a really good video to accompany it.

Marvellous, what a send off! Thanks for the photos and the links.

Hello Kush, The interview is about one hour and twenty minutes into the show if you can eventually get it. It lasts about twenty minutes. He discusses, briefly, his career with its various turns. The only song of his that is played is 'The Joshua Tree' with a discussion about it. It is an interestin...

Real country music there, Kush. Very enjoyable. There is a programme on BBC Radio 2 this Sunday, 12th May at 15.00 with Tom Russell talking to Johnnie Walker in 'Sounds of the Seventies.' It should be interesting.

That outdoor concert of Tom Russell must have been a good experience, Joe. After Kush's mention of Merle Haggard I have just been listening to him singing 'Kern River'. It is a sad, haunting song.

Marvellous videos, Kush! Both of them remind us of our own mortality. We are here for a brief moment in eternity and then we are gone; millionaires and paupers follow the same road. We play our part on the world's stage and then slip into oblivion. Fame and fortune cannot prevent the inexorable marc...

Hello Kush,

I really enjoyed the video - the song and spotting the faces too. It reminded me of a tribute to Hank Williams sung by David Allan Coe, 'The Ride.'

I went to a Tom Russell concert last Saturday. It was the usual high standard with a very appreciative audience. He sang songs from his recent cd, 'October in the Railroad Earth.' I particularly enjoyed 'Highway46.'

It is sad to hear of Scott Walker's death. A very talented individual.

'No Regrets'

Another song from the new album.

'T-Bone Steak and Spanish Wine.'

A song for reminiscing.

What a happy song! Even though I didn't understand the words it still comes across as happy. I have not seen the film but I will certainly look out for it. I really enjoyed 'Midnight Run.' Apart from being a gripping film, the dry humour in it made me laugh out loud. I still have the VHS video! Perh...

Kush, I have to admit that I didn't notice at first but now that you have pointed it out it does clearly show. Perhaps I was aware of it subconsciously!

The time around 1971 was a good period for road films with 'Duel' and 'Two Lane Blacktop' also appearing.
