A singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer who is equally comfortable with urban folk, garage-centric rock, introspective pop, and loose-limbed R&B, Luther Russell first made a name for himself as a member of the Freewheelers before he struck out on a successful solo career. In 2017, the Spanish label Hanky Panky Records released Selective Memories: An Anthology, a two-disc collection that spanned Russell's career, from unreleased Bootheels demos to a track from the 2018 album Medium Cool. ~ Mark Deming
