Called a poet and wordsmith of unique style, Austin, Texas-based Russell Bartlett crafts songs with intelligent lyrics and memorable melody hooks. His work has quietly drawn critical praise for years from many corners of the international singer-songwriter community. Not your typical "folk singer in cowboy boots," Russ's songs are philosophical explorations of the shaded portions of life's primary colors, including love, loss, humor and hope. "Days on End," Bartlett's fourth studio release, is a collection of songs written over a ten-year period, crossing genres back and forth from country and folk and rock and blues. Called a "true poet" by fellow Texan, the late Townes Van Zandt, Bartlett's lyrics are as good as anyone in the business. Check out www.russellbartlett.com
