<p>I was a brother I was a brother in law I was an uncle to 2 very very wonderful kids and all that changed as an inebriated gentleman was found not guilty for vehicular homicide and was released due to time served to make matters even worse we all had to walk out the front door to exit the building together no mercy was asked and no mercy was given now here comes the clergy nonsensical mystic rhetoric about everything is going to be ok and it 's not so they tell you god is good all the time well he's not the Ten Commandments say that murder is definitely something we shou not do . I refused to let the church make a victim of me .We need to select people who will uphold these laws to see to it that our children receive justice , rhetoric of its own is just rhetoric that is what the church is known for, it didn't help us than and it won't help us now . We the People must unite fightback to defend are children and stop sitting around waiting to be the next victim.</p>

<p>Here is your tip of the day .did three gigs yesterday and all were different in terms of musical style. Yes you need good gear and yes need a good attitude and yes you need to be well practice , however the part that gets left out is how much listening you do and not just to the stuff you like , a working pro must have a working knowledge of many styles of music and be able to play on demand whatever the situation calls for with authority . The best compliment you will ever receive is when someone says to you wow I didn't know you could play you fill in the blank. So practice listening it pays . MTD4LYFE</p>

<p><span class="userContent">Well as we the so called Christians prepare to celebrate another fictitious holiday that revolves solely around Commerce let us not be dismay when our children pose the question , so what else have you lied about ? Christ and commerce have nothing to do with one another .</span></p>

How did this new album and overall concept for it come about and what are your ultimate goals with it ?
This cd is a love letter to my wife, as a musician this is the best gift I could offer her.
What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of recording a new album?
As a bass player your main job is that of a side man so it can be tuff to find time to get your own project off the ground but well worth it and I would have it no other way.
How would you describe what inspires you to do what you do?
Just the love of music, I was blessed to know what I wanted to do with my life at a young age. I have never had a gig that I did not learn something new about myself good or bad.
What artists do you feel akin to or in the same tribe with?
So many great artist really inspire me if I had to pick a few Jaco would be at the top of the list followed by Brad Taylor and Jerry Tubb.
What elements do you look for in a song that makes it especially satisfying for you to perform?
The first thing I hear is a grooving bass line than the chord changes. Than I begin to hear the tune in my head and my own take on the tune.
Of your touring and gigs so far in your career, do any stand out as being particularly memorable or defining moment?
I have been blessed to have had some really great gigs. I think my first pro gig is the one I will remember the most. It was a band called Blaze and I was in over my head with some great players but after the gig they pulled me aside and said "guy you were born to do this".

<p>Jerry and I have known Russell for many years….and he really is the most prolific musician in Texas.<br>Not only talented, but a “Prince” of a guy. Great album and there is not a more deserving fellow of kudos and praises. If you have not experienced Russell’s talent, you certainly have missed out on a real treat. Russell's a real Austin legend….and a genuine human being. Luv ya Russ !<br>Diane and Jerry Tubb/ Terra Nova Mastering</p>

<p>Russell K Shores learnt to play the bass when a friend pointed out he was only playing the first four strings on his electric guitar. If ever there was a natural-born bassist, here he is. Now Russell displays his awesome talent on an album of seven songs that is as refreshing and uplifting as it is dazzling. The album – ‘L.S 5’ – was written for his wife Lola, but it is more like a present for the world of music. A combination of jazz, funk, soul and blues, of new compositions and old favourites, it is as good a debut album as you are likely to hear this year. His talent for bass has earnt Russell rave reviews from people who know their apples. And all that talent is evident on this collection. From accomplished covers such as ‘I Shot The Sheriff’ and ‘Ain’t No Stopping Us Now’ to his own slap-happy tunes, every one of the tracks is guaranteed to be loved by bass aficionados and casual listeners alike. Taking his inspiration from legends of the low tones such as Stanley Clarke, Chuck Rainey and Jaco Pastorius, and armed with a degree in music, Russell both learns from the greats and contributes something new to the pantheon. Having made music and performed since the age of 12, and having shared a stage with the likes of Diana Ross and Julian Lennon, Russell is ready to step out of the shadows and show what he is capable of. He might have picked up the bass by accident, and he might only have written the album for his wife, but ‘L.S 5’ is a record that is set to captivate millions.
