Texas is a long way from France.......2005-12-03

Before I go any further, allow me to confess that I'm from Texas ... born and raised. This CD of Calvin's is good but not extraordinary. For those who lament the injustice of his greater fame across the pond, I can only say "come on down to Austin" where MANY more musicians will blow you away with their talents on any given night. I'm not trying to dis' Calvin's music; it's raw and genuine. But the truth of the matter is, there may be a reason he chose to seek his fame in Europe. As for the claim of Mr Russell being the best of the Texas trubadors, I need only to point to Steve Fromholtz to discount this assertion. The CD is a good sampling of a Texas roadhouse warrior, the kind of act that would fit perfectly at the Starlight in Terlingua. Buy this CD, but don't stop there. This is just the tip of the iceburg for real Texas talent!

ONE OF THE BEST "AMERICANA CDS OF 2000.......2001-12-12

Everybody that loves the music of Townes Van Zandt and Texas music lovers in general should buy this record, unfortunatelly only released in Europe. This is "Americana" in its best, a mix of blues, country, folk and rock, that explodes in a couple of great songs. The fact that Calvin Russell is better known in France and Germany then in Texas, is a tremendous injustice. Calvin is probably one of the best Texas troubadours alive. Buy this record!!! It's a must have to all "americana" fans.
