Thanks, but no thanks. How low of a rating does a song need before it's pulled off the playlist? {#Headache}

If you have yet to see a live show this year - go to see this man, he's that good.

Edit: perhaps best seen in person, then.

I saw Tom Russell a few years back at FitzGerald's in Chicago. At that time, his guitarist was Andrew Hardin. Hardin was a sheer joy to see and hear. Clear chops and a distinctive style. A very accomplished musician.

Andrew Hardin, Dave Alvin, or Greg Liesz—my money's on Liesz. Man, I love blacktop blues, and this sucker cooks.

I was thinking Waylon too and came to look. I already rated it probably because of just that... but if we're going to hear this why not some real Waylon? Good pickin' though.

Ahhh, the return of Tom Russell to the RP playlist.

Can "The Sky Above, The Mud Below" be next?

We've been missing Tom, Bill.

YES, this set is a masterpiece.

Makes up for those times when I have to slog through 14 Radiohead wannabe bands in a row to get my RP fix.

Coming to know this song first through Dave Alvin, I'm always pleased to hear the original source. Dave covers a number of Tom Russell's songs. I can see why, he's quite the poignant songwriter.Thanks for the diversity, Bill.

Wow - did CMT hijack the RP stream?


CMT would never play "real" country. Just that schlock with hatted pseudo-celebs playing Les Pauls and Rickenbackers with boots, maybe. This is considered "too country" for them, and Clear Channel, who won't even play Johnny Cash or George Jones. Its almost as if their corporate mantra is "forget talent, wheres the buck$?"


Thanks, RP for providing an outlet to someone who would never get airplay on CC or CMT.

Dave Alvin does an excellent version of this song on his live album. Not sure who's song it is, but I much prefer his version to this one.

I think they collaborated on it, Dave Alvin seems to do this often with various artists.

Good to hear Tom Russell back in the playlist.

Can The Sky Above, The Mud Below be far behind?
