The critics are weighing in and they agree that Woody Russell’s latest release, “Up Against It” (CUTS Music Group – July, 2010), is an exceptional album; proof positive that he is an artist to watch. This vibrant blues/soul outing highlights Russell’s musicianship as an “inventive” and “exemplary” guitarist, as well as, a vocalist and songwriter of the highest caliber. He can shade a note with the best of them. “Up Against It” celebrates, aches, rocks and soothes; his most thoroughly potent recording to date. Here’s proof that modern blues is thriving and in good hands.

WR Writing and Recording New Album

Jan 15 2012

WR is starting off the new year composing and recording tracks for a forthcoming album to be released later in 2012 (no date confirmed as of this writing). The new songs are, thus far, sophisticated fusions of Russell's passion for classic Rhythm and Blues, Jazz and Soul. 

"I'm very excited about these new songs, they are a carefully crafted blend of elements that I've wanted to incorporate into a cohesive album for a long time. I'm at a place as an artist where I understand my own evolution; that my own diverse musical interests are actually under one roof as I find the intersections where they meet in my music. And, I'm surrounded by extraordinary musicians who bring so much artistry to the table in any session."

Russell intends to offer another In Session Project, though a variation from that which he did for Up Against It.  The In Session Project is a behind the scenes look at the compositional process, the recording and release of his albums which began in 2009 with UAI. No specifics are given yet, but details will be available in the coming months.
