Description
Russ Tolman – Down In Earthquake Town – Vinyl Record
Down in Earthquake Town is an album by the American singer-songwriter Russ Tolman.
Russ Tolman is known for his contributions to the Paisley Underground music scene in the 1980s as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the band True West. As a solo artist, Tolman has continued to explore Americana, folk-rock, and alternative country music.
After fleeing the confines of the Northern California guitar band, True West upon its demise in 1985, Russ Tolman took up the troubadour’s life, embarking on a career as a singer-songwriter, often performing with a band. Loosely aligned with LA’s Paisley Underground scene, Tolman continued to surround himself with some of the musicians who were key during that period, in particular Steve Wynn, formerly of the Dream Syndicate who has remained his friend and occasional collaborator.
Down in Earthquake Town features Tolman’s distinctive songwriting style, which blends evocative storytelling with rootsy melodies and a laid-back California vibe. The album likely contains tracks that reflect Tolman’s experiences and observations of life in earthquake-prone regions, both literally and metaphorically.
While Tolman may not be a household name, Down in Earthquake Town showcases his talent as a songwriter and his ability to create music that resonates with listeners who appreciate heartfelt lyrics and timeless melodies. The album represents another chapter in Tolman’s musical journey and serves as a testament to his enduring creativity and artistic vision.
