You've got to be kidding - this is not a song it's tuneless, dreary chant. I stopped what I was doing at the other end of the building to come over to a computer, log in, and say this is the worst thing I have ever heard on RP. Ruined my afternoon; this is *not* good karma.

Really glad to hear this again.
It's been 11 years since the last play?

Methinks the reason they don't like it is because it's storytelling and folksey. Amazing as it sounds, there are people out there that do not like this kind of music (I am NOT one of them...love this)!!

Sort of like Johnny Cash's lyrically oriented nephew. An excellent piece of legendary Western imagery.

Great stuff, classic "Lonesome Dove" songwriting.

Tom Russell is from Canada -- maybe even from Alberta -- a fellow Canucklehead nonetheless, and a most talented songwriter indeed. He's done some excellent stuff with Ian Tyson, an old folkie from Ian and Sylvia fame (wrote "Four Strong Winds") who lives south of Calgary in a place called Longview. Ian and Tom did a really excellent album called Cowboyography, with a few of those story-type ballads on it. It's a little more to the C&W side, but Radio Paradise really ought to pick up a few of the tunes -- it really would be worthwhile.

Never heard of this fella, but I dig it. I like story songs when they're good, and sometimes even if they're cheesy (the old ballad about the West Texas Town of El Paso comes to mind... I can't remember the official title, but Bill probably knows what I mean). More material by Tom Russell will be welcomed. Where's he from?
