From
Bar Harbor, Maine to Santa Fe, New Mexico; from Los
Angeles, California to Nashville, Tennessee, one can
mention among Texas songwriters, the name “Shake
Russell” and be virtually assured of interest,
pleasure and joyful recognition.
Shake’s
songs have been covered by artists ranging from
Waylon Jennings; “Deep in the West”, to Ricky
Skaggs; “You’ve Got a Lover”, and his
co-written compositions with Clint Black; “Put
Yourself in My Shoes”. These songs are known in
households, not only all over Texas, but also across
America and around the world. Shake Russell is a two
time recipient of the BMI “Million Air” award
for Clint Black’s recording of “Put Yourself in
My Shoes” and “One More Payment”.
Shake
is currently touring with fellow veterans of the
Texas music scene, Doug Floyd on mandolin and Mike
Roberts on acoustic bass. The trio's contemporary
acoustic arrangements, coupled
with melodic three-part harmonies, create a unique,
modern sound for those classic Shake Russell songs.
