I received a CD from Hightone Records 2 months ago to review for a possible concert here in Toledo. I was written by Tom Russell and explained as an Immigrant Song Cycle. It traced Tom's ancestors from Norway and Ireland, using Irish musicians and Norwegian musicians, as well as himself, his guitarist Andrew Hardin, Iris Dement, Dave VanRonk. The Irish singer was Delores Keane. Two Norwegian folk singers were also used. I was completely taken by this recording and would like to know if anyone has listened to it and if so what do they think of it? It is a great concept album with 26 cuts and over 74 minutes long...One CD..........
