I only discovered Tom Russell's music a year ago, but he is by far one of the best song writers I have ever heard. I only wish someone had turned me on to his music earlier.

  • I am amazed at the depth of Tom's work. On the album "Modern Art" this gem of a song is sandwiched between up tempo contemporary tunes, western ballads and another gem, "The Dutchman". You might swear Isaac Lewis was an old English Ballad. I'd like to learn it but don't know if I can get past the emotionally charged lines about his love for his father. By all means, tell those closest to you that you love them before its too late...

  • this is one of the best songs ever written.tom has been writing excellant songs my whole life and keeps getting better.He is my idol and gets to do what he loves.Writing singing painting and generally making people happy!He is gonna be someone talked about throughout history

  • @allthatyousee18 It is a true story. Isaac Lewis really did travel to Australia and back only to die in a shipwreck yards from Moelfre - his home village.

  • Does anyone know why he chose the name "Isaac Lewis"? My name really is Isaac Lewis... and I'm from North Wales. My grandparents are from Liverpool. Freaky, eh? I'm not lying, my homepage is i.saac.me

  • I'm a 16 year old english guy and and heavily into song writing. I have two idols in music, one being Eric Bogle and the other - the great Tom Russell.

  • tremendous, just tremendous

  • This song only underscores Tom Russells amazing raconteur song writing abilities The story of the Royal Charter is obscure Oct 1859. I am familiar because I live on Anglesey and from my bedroom I could look across Red Wharf Bay and see the rocks at Moelfre.. I to have fished off those rocks and seen the Irish Sea Oct and its formidable. Tom if you find yourself in St Louis Mo playing at Off Broadway I will be there. Thanks for your songs

  • Andrew Hardin is the soft spoken supporting soldier standing by with a simple a sparse strumming that sets the stage for the storyteller of song, Tom Russell.

  • Tom is amazing. Have been a fan for many years. thanks for sharing this.
