Tom Russell and Iris DeMent - Throwin' Horseshoes At The Moon.wmv

Tom Russell has invited wonderful guest artists and excellent back up musicians to make a great album, "The Man From God Knows Where", released in 1999. Tom traces his roots back to Ireland and Scandinavia. The family tree isn't perfect. The songs depict his heritage, warts and all. Iris DeMent joins Tom in this duet, "Throwin' Horseshoes at the Moon" and is an indication of the quality of the artistry on the album itself. There are historical photos and information on the liner notes, which almost becomes a mini-book. Russell has gone 'all out' to make a spectacular album. Enjoy!
