OT: Calvin Russell

Hello everyone!

I am writing a new post today because I wonder if Calvin Russell is famous in the U.S or any other country than France?

My dad was a fan of this bluesman and so do I. I saw him two times in concert in France, he was very famous in France... But when I went to Austin Texas, where Calvin Russell comes from, no one knew him, even where he used to play in the Continental Club.

Excellent question
I am also a big French fan
He was great and I enjoyed his concerts.
Sounds from the fourth world remains his best/my favorite album

He was quite well known in France in the 90's. I gig his Play with Fire cover and the song Crossroads.

Maybe it is a little bit like Ben Harper, US singer famous in France but so much elsewhere ?

I liked "Little Stars"from an early Calvin Russell cd.

"They got scientific names for all the little stars."

If you like Calvin Russell maybe you would like Chris Knight. "Hell Ain't Half Full" is a good place to start.
