Description
HARDIN & RUSSELL RING OF BONE Tom's first collaboration with Patricia Hardin. “Tom introduced me to Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams. I introduced him to Bach and Franz Schubert. That’s partly why our songs had that strange blend of folk, country and classical. My artistic concept has always been to create something unique and honest that will stand the test of time.That’s exactly what Tom and I accomplished with those early recordings. I’m sure that’s what we are doing today, separate and apart.” Individually, Hardin and Russell took New Folk awards at the 1975 Kerrville Folk Festival, while in June of that year Hardin won the Grand Prize at the Kerrville Country & Western Songwriters Competition. Russell was a semi-finalist. In 1976, the couple cut their first album, Ring of Bone, in Austin. Patricia recalls, “Between hihgh hopes and a low budget, we pulled it off in three days. Mike Mordecai, now a big name in the Austin music scene, helped us put together the right local musicians.” As for the album title, she explains, “Lew Welch, the mystic poet of the Beat Generation, wrote a collection of poems called Ring of Bone. The preface gives some clue as to what he was after. ‘The shape of Ring of Bone is circular, or back and forth.’ “What Tom and I did in our song ‘Ring of Bone’ and in the concept of our album was to bring to life, lyrically and musically, some of the possibilities in that image. Circles, cycles, birth and death and rebirth. Patricia’s compositions included “Coffins on the Brazos”, which told of the Texas floods of 1957, and “Look at Us Now”, while she also penned the music for a number of Tom’s lyrics. The initial pressing of Ring of Bone sold out quickly. Chet Flippo of Rolling Stone magazine had described it as “A miracle!” and further favourable reviews appeared in other magazines including Billboard and Crawdaddy. The pair decided to move base to San Francisco in order to put a band together and gain a wider audience.

I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. These are the first of very many items that i now want to sell. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last 6 months or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I'm not going to 'Bible bash' or 'rant and rave', I simply want you to understand my reasoning. With this in mind, i will leave it up to you to look up 2 sets of verses, if you want to. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains my anonymity whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
