First Album: The Gourds

First Album: Kevin Russell of The Gourds

I grew up listening to 45’s mainly. I used to get them from all sorts of places. One way we got them was when my mother would buy a certain brand of generic looking potato chips. The package would come with a 45 inside. I could hardly wait to open those chips and see what record I got. The first records I bought with my own money, I remember very clearly, were Waylon Jennings‘ Greatest Hits and the Village People‘s Macho Man – Waylon on cassette and Village People on vinyl. From the beginning I had a warped sense of music.

The Gourds are on tour now, dates available here.
