American musician Tom Russell chats about the 1970s with Johnnie.

Tom Russell is an American singer-songwriter. He's most often identified with the Americana music tradition, but his music also incorporates elements of folk, rock, and the cowboy music of the American West. Many of his songs have been recorded by other artists, including Johnny Cash, k.d. lang, Guy Clark and Nanci Griffith to name just a few.

Tom is also a painter and author. He has published a book of songwriting quotes, a detective novel and a book of letters with Charles Bukowski. His recent works include two books from Bangtail Press: 120 Songs of Tom Russell, and Blue Horse/Red Desert - The Art of Tom Russell, a book of selected paintings.
His latest album, October In the Railroad Earth, is out now.

Elsewhere in the show, another listener will be making an addition to Johnnie's Jukebox and Johnnie will take a look at This Week In Music in the 1970s, with the help of the 成人快手 Archives.
