I had never heard of this guy until his death was flagged up on a forum last year, accompanied by this video http://youtu.be/5yngIMszdK8 (not on this album). I was immediately hooked by his vocal and inquired which album to buy first.
Crack in Time (1990)- Russell's debut at the age of 41.

Not well known in his native USA, Calvin Russell made a career touring the continent and releasing albums on a French label.

"My Way" track 6 (not the Sinatra song) has become my favorite "last one before bed" a real winding down over a malt song.
