This is my first CD release in almost 8 years. I have found once again, that a stressful and all-consuming medical practice makes Russ a very dull boy. In November 2017, I left my day job for good and have gone into the studio to write some new tunes and finish editing and tracking others that have layed dormant in the dark digital world of a rarely used hard drive on an out-dated recording computer. Without the fear of my beeper going off in the middle of a take and a good night's sleep, I re-discovered my passion for recording and writing music. ( It has been almost 4 months and I still have the phantom beeper syndrome- a sensation of vibration originating at the site on my right hip where I carried my beeper for 30 years.)
I used my life-long collection of acoustic stringed instruments to create new tunes and ballads of unrequited love, moonshine, romance and the eternal pursuit of the transcendent.
The 13 songs include three instrumentals and 10 original ballads. Some old timey style with clawhammer and fiddle, others with alternate tuned guitars with sparse instrumentation. I used hammered dulcimer, cello, fretless bass and fiddle together for what I call "symphonic folk" in another track. Another track is bluesy as I have always had a thing for the blues since highschool.
Some of the songs have been banging around in my head for Russ Rentler - Escaped The Tide (2017)
