Woody Russell
About

WOODY RUSSELL blows apart any preconceptions about what his next move might be. Have no doubt about it: Russell is digging deep into his own brand of blues and soul with his upcoming CUTS Music release, Up Against It. Muscular guitar work, a highly tuned, versatile voice and adventurous lyricism place Woody Russell as a frontrunner among the up and coming “blues stringers” emerging from Texas. Previous successes in the crowded singer-songwriter field provided him work on major festival stages across North America. His last recording, 2005's Salt, is a brilliant CD that garnered a 2006 IMA “Album of the Year” nomination and is “proof point in support of his blossoming career.” Now four years downrange from that effort, Russell is writing and recording Up Against It, his first “blues” album – not just because he can pull it off, but because it’s his only way forward.
