Wounded Heart

I hope you caught Tom Russell on Letterman last night. Russell has an interesting take on the AMERICA that once was and the america that we live in today.

I first became aware of Mr. Russell through Dave Alvin. The name came up several times in the between song chatter when Aaron & I saw the Guilty Men at the Pour House here in Raleigh.

Then I found a promo for "Hot Walker" at the flea market and it spun in the Toyota's cd player for better than a week. Thanks to Kurt Fortmeyer I found out that Tom would be gracing the Late Night stage and I just couldn't miss it. Tom was incredible and it was very cool to see Paul play the accordian.
