2010 double live album from roots rocker. His album 'Unrepentant' released at the beginning of 2008 had almost the character of a comeback album of the blues legend. After its success last year came another gem of the Texan in exile in Paris in the form of the CD 'Dawg Eat Dawg'. But there never was a thinking of a break. The show of The Unrepentant Tour (from 2007), before the album was released, is now available on double CD and the first time on DVD. For anyone who previously may not have come to enjoy a concert of Calvin Russell, a chance to experience this mix of Blues & Rock & Country with a real 'Live' feeling on 2 legs.

Calvin Russell is an American roots rock singer - songwriter and guitarist. At 12 he started to learn guitar and at 13 joined a band called 'The Cavemen'. In 1989 he met Patrick Mathe of the French record label New Rose. After his first album was released, Russell started touring in Europe in 1990. Ten years and twelve CDs later, leaving behind legions of European fans (as in fanatics), Calvin Russell has come home. Playing many of Austin’s legendary music clubs, Calvin has been discovered again, and this time by Texans, by God. He's back in Texas, where he belongs and he's bringing his message back to the USA. For Calvin Russell the future is now. He is an American original; a genuine roots treasure with a microphone and a guitar as well as he can with a superstar band. He is without a doubt, the real thing.
