Thanks to Russell’s partner Tom Lee and to Steve Knutson of Audika Records, who have forged several records from Russell’s vast archive of unfinished and unreleased work, the world now hears many versions of Arthur Russell. There’s the Iowa boy, the disco mystic, the singer-songwriter and composer, and the fierce perfectionist deep in a world of echo. While all of these elements of Russell are individually true, none alone define him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, after ten years of work inside the Russell library, Lee and Knutson bring us Iowa Dream, yet another bright star in Russell’s dazzling constellation. Blazing with trademark feeling, these nineteen songs are a staggering collection of Russell’s utterly distinct songwriting. And although Russell could be inscrutably single-minded, he was never totally solitary. Collaborating here is a stacked roster of downtown New York musicians, including Ernie Brooks, Rhys Chatham, Henry Flynt, Jon Gibson, Peter Gordon, Steven Hall, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Saltzman, and David Van Tieghem. Musician Peter Broderick makes a contemporary addition to this list: more than forty years after Russell recorded several nearly finished songs, Broderick worked diligently with Audika to complete them, and performed audio restoration and additional mixing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral tracks on Iowa Dream Russell originally recorded as demos, in two early examples of his repeated brushes with potential popular success—first in 1974, with Paul Nelson of Mercury Records, and then in 1975, with the legendary John Hammond of Columbia Records. For different reasons, neither session amounted to a record deal. Russell kept working nearly up until his death in 1992 from complications of HIV-AIDS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once kaleidoscopic and intimate, Iowa Dream bears some of Russell’s most personal work, including several recently discovered folk songs he wrote during his time in Northern California in the early 1970s. For Russell, Iowa was never very far away. “I see, I see it all,” sings Russell on the title track: red houses, fields, the town mayor (his father) streaming by as he dream-bicycles through his hometown. Russell’s childhood home and family echo, too, through “Just Regular People,” “I Wish I Had a Brother,” “Wonder Boy,” “The Dogs Outside are Barking,” “Sharper Eyes,” and “I Felt.” Meanwhile, songs like “I Kissed the Girl From Outer Space,” “I Still Love You,” “List of Boys,” and “Barefoot in New York” fizz with pop and dance grooves, gesturing at Russell’s devotion to New York’s avant-garde and disco scenes. Finally, the long-awaited “You Did it Yourself,” until now heard only in a brief heart-stopping black-and-white clip in Matt Wolf’s documentary Wild Combination, awards us a new take with a driving funk rhythm and Russell’s extraordinary voice soaring at the height of its powers. On Iowa Dream, you can hear a country kid meeting the rest of the world—and with this record, the world continues to meet a totally singular artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWonder Boy \u003cbr\u003eI Never Get Lonesome \u003cbr\u003eEverybody Everybody \u003cbr\u003eYou Did It Yourself \u003cbr\u003eCome To Life \u003cbr\u003eIowa Dream \u003cbr\u003eWords Of Love \u003cbr\u003eI Still Love You \u003cbr\u003eYou Are My Love \u003cbr\u003eBarefoot In New York \u003cbr\u003eJust Regular People \u003cbr\u003eI Wish I Had A Brother \u003cbr\u003eFelt \u003cbr\u003eThe Dogs Outside Are Barking \u003cbr\u003eSharper Eyes \u003cbr\u003eFollow You \u003cbr\u003eList Of Boys \u003cbr\u003eI Kissed The Girl From Outer Space \u003cbr\u003eIn Love With You For The Last Time\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31346921963587,"sku":"AU1017LP","price":52.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0094\/8718\/8015\/products\/Arthur-Russell-Iowa-Dream-New-Vinyl.jpg?v=1745529158"},{"product_id":"arthur_russell_world_of_vinyl","title":"Arthur Russell -
