On the way back from the hospital today,I stopped at Back Alley Disc to have a look around and just clear my head.

while thereI found a disc of Tom Russell called Modern Art.Russell is a songwriter of great talent.It was he who penned the epic tale of love,revenge and greed:Gallo Del Ciello.

On this disc he pays homage to heroes of history,Mickey Mantle.Mohammed Ali and in the context of one song he sings a verse of Warren Zevon's classic,Carmelita.

He even sings about Lana Turner daughter,who killed Lana's lover,who was abusing Lana and probably her daughter too.

This is my second or third cd by Russell,he doesn't disappoint.

An artist who is in the same vein is Canada's own James Keelaghan,our Western Canadian AKers may be familar with him.
