Tom Russell Guadalupe

[LegendGarrincha7]

I am Mexican...this song to me means alot to me...represents the struggles of my people but most of all the strong faith that always keeps my people going..."lord my poverty is real" that part makes me cry, because it reminds me of the poverty that most people in mexico live through..but the only thing that keeps them moving is their deepest faith.

[ACIMpsychology]

@LegendGarrincha7 their faith will not be unrewarded, my brother! Blessings

I just can't stop listing to this version of this song. It is tremendous!

[SilverCrowCreations]

I cannot work anymore tonight. I have the album. I've heard Gretchen's version. But this is the best. And I can't stop listening to this. Thank you for your inspiration and teaching me the gods are back here for me.

Absolutely gorgeious. Very moving. Blood and Candle Smoke has gotta be one of the best albums I've heard in years. I wish I could get to Sisters, Oregon on the 4th of Feb. to see Tom sing.

[JuanLorenZerimar]

[jokerman105]

Wonderful

[deadontherange]

"Blood and Candle Smoke" Another of Tom's great albums.

[rbelbur]

I couldn't help trying to seriously sing this song. It's so full of feeling for just about anything one could have empathy, sympathy and compassion for. And, it's so deceptively simple if that's the right adverb.

[dennisn979]

I love the album and this is a favorite song. I hope that Tom and Gretchen sing this one tonight (Oct. 17) at the Turner Hall in Mount Olive, Illinois.

I saw Gretchen Peters sing this song at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN. Absolutely beautiful!

[carolhop1]

Incredible ... For anyone who loves Mexico, has witnessed the wonder of the faithful at the Basilica, this luscious song will fill the heart, bring tears to the eyes.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Such a strong, beautiful voice and terrific lyrics.

Thank you, so much.

[adocumentarian]

This song touches me It brings back memories of being young and driving through the dusty streets of Baja California seeing the shrines to La Virgen Guadalupe.

[spiritbearNY]

This looks like someone's house? Where did you film it? Great song. I had the pleasure of traveling the Song Train from Toronto to Vancouver with Tom and the Flatlanders. An unforgettable experience.

[SteelerMan123]

Awesome, can't wait to see you in Denver again Tom!

[LordEgan]

Great song! I hope he makes it back to Ashland, VA soon even though some bastard bartender emptied a bag of beer bottles right in the middle of this beautiful ballad. "Coño de la madre no jode por nada!"

[rainysanctuary]

beautiful....

looking forward to "California Bloodlines"!

[picker666]
