Tom Russell Anyone?

i agree. excellent songwriter and musician.

Also agree.

For me, Borderland is one of the top five best albums no one has given a listen to. Beyond that, it's great for showing off the low frequency capability of one's system, in addition to being an overall terrific sounding recording.

Sometimes, I'll play it for a Johnny Cash fan, and they'll be more than impressed. A few friends of mine immediately ordered the CD right after I told them it wasn't the Man in Black.

Saw him in Philly about five years ago, playing to an empty room, and he was seriously pissed off that no one in these parts either knew who he was, his event didn't get the proper level of promotion, or people just didn't want to see him. Promised me he'd fix that.

I listened to Borderland at an audio dealer shop in Atlanta. Bought it on line the next day. Excellent.
