"An uncanny sense of place that advertises him as one of the remaining guardians of a dwindling narrative sensibility." —Associated Press
Singer-songwriter Tom Russell was born in Los Angeles in 1950 and now makes his home on the border of El Paso-Juarez. A writer, painter and musician, he began his music career in the bars of Vancouver's skid row. With 20 albums of original material to his credit, including the 2005 classic homage to his friend Charles Bukowski, Hotwalker, Russell's songs have appeared in a dozen films and have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Nanci Griffith, Doug Sahm, Dave Alvin, Joe Ely, Ian Tyson and others. Russell`s compelling new release weaves a thread that connects the perilous bordertown of Juarez, Mexico to the real and faux glitz of L.A. and the bleak iron range of Minnesota--the Mesabi of the album's title.
