Our Take

Tom Russell & Friends deliver a somber and haunting journey through the Wounded Heart of America, blending Americana and folk influences with poignant lyrics that cut deep. The album opens with the title track, a melancholic ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Russell's gravelly vocals add a rawness and authenticity to each track, making the listener feel every emotion in his storytelling.

Tracks like "Red Oak, Texas" and "Veteran's Day" are standouts, with heartfelt lyrics that pay tribute to the struggles and sacrifices of everyday Americans. The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with subtle touches of fiddle and pedal steel adding to the overall atmosphere of sorrow and reflection.

Russell's collaborations with friends like Gretchen Peters and Eliza Gilkyson bring a sense of camaraderie and warmth to the album, making it feel like a communal effort to explore the pain and resilience of the American spirit. Each song feels like a small piece of a larger puzzle, coming together to paint a vivid portrait of the heartaches and triumphs of the human experience.

Overall, Wounded Heart of America is a masterful work of art that showcases Tom Russell's songwriting prowess and ability to convey powerful narratives through music. It's a must-listen for fans of Americana and folk music, offering a glimpse into the soul of a nation that is wounded but not broken.
