These 19 songs make for a a staggering collection of Russell's utterly distinct songwriting. The material includes contributions from downtown NYC musicians Ernie Brooks, Rhys Chatham, Henry Flynt, Jon Gibson, Peter Gordon, Steven Hall and others, along with Peter Broderick, who makes a contemporary addition to this list. More than 40 years after Russell recorded several nearly finished songs, Broderick completed them. At once kaleidoscopic and intimate, 'Iowa Dream' bears some of Russell's most personal work, including several recently discovered folk songs he wrote during his time in Northern California in the early 1970s.
