Tolman, Russ
Goodbye El Dorado
With his eight album, Goodbye El Dorado, Tolman wistfully, but with a clear, critical eye examines his homeland from afar, penning his "love letter to Los Angeles" without acrimony and with the clarity of distance. He was half a world away in Osaka, Japan and the miles provided a prism of certitude. From his gunslinging days in the seminal 80's twin guitar band TRue West throughout a varied, exceptional solo career. Russ Tolman has returned to the States, his boots are polished and he's saddled upfor another ride. Look around and climb on! It's goodbye El Dorado, hello world. The first pressing of Goodbye El Dorado contains the bonus disc Compass & Maps, a 20-song retrospective of Russ Tollman's seven solo albums, spanning the years 1986 - 2013.
