One of America's premier artists, Tom Russell grew up in California, and currently resides on a "badland farm" on the El Paso-Juarez border. One of the seminal artists of the americana movement, Tom blends country, rock, Tex-Mex, and folk sounds in finely honed character studies that champion blue collar life. He has written and recorded numerous classics, which have appeared on numerous film and television soundtracks, as well as being covered by other eminent artists from Johnny Cash to Eliza Gilkyson.
Southern singer-songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist, Jesse Winchester weaves gospel, folk, blues, and country threads into graceful, intelligent music that reflects his origins in Louisiana, rural Mississippi, and Memphis. The author of classic songs like "Brand-New Tennessee Waltz" and "Yankee Lady," Jesse is famous for well-crafted tunes about deep feeling and mysteries of the spirit, which have been covered by the likes of Elvis Costello, Jimmy Buffett, Joan Baez, and Emmylou Harris (to name but a few). His 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Composers, Artists and Publishers (ASCAP) is one gauge of the music world's esteem.
Over the past 40 years, Jimmy Webb's accomplishments as a composer, arranger, songwriter, and performer have made him a truly iconic figure in the music world. The only artist ever to receive Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration, Jimmy's name can be found on a staggering number of songwriter halls of fame, lifetime achievement awards, and "best singles of all time" lists. A short list of the amazing string of hit singles that Jimmy has written over the years must include "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman" (performed by Glen Campbell); "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress" (Joe Cocker); and "The Highwayman" (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson)...and that's just the tip of the iceberg!
