Rene Russell’s incredible voice and unique skills on the 12-string guitar compliment her passionate writing perfectly, giving her not only the ability to perform her material, but, truly, the ability to bring an audience to its knees or to its feet on her own. The driving power of the ghostly, but upbeat Night-Mare and Too Late, contrasted with the easy-going style of Just Because and Home show Rene’s versatility, not only in performing, but in her remarkably intelligent composition, as well. Rene Russell’s 10-track CD is a tremendous example of musicianship, and comes through in a format that any music fan can appreciate. This record makes a great addition to any collection, and should not be passed up by any listener looking for a musical experience that only an artist of Rene’s caliber can provide. - Rainmaker Publicity

The DoodleBug slide show is something I put together to emphasize the situation we have put the planet and ourselves in- I originally wrote this song years ago when the Exxon Valdez spilled all her oil in Alaska- I was so affected emotionally by that and now, of course, it happens almost every day somewhere in the world.  I wrote this song knowing that the words would be disturbing and depressing, so to get people to listen to it, I wrote an upbeat danceable tune to go with it- eventually we might all hear the message?
