A truly remarkable posthumous collection from Iowa's prize songwriter. Beautiful remasters, home recordings, and (no longer) lost songs, 'Iowa Dream' is a must-have for fans, and a sublime introduction for those unacquainted with Arthur Russell's distinctive lyrical wit, charm and sensitivity. An underappreciated and uniquely off-beat voice in the American tradition, for fans of Willie Nelson, Jackson C Frank, Lou Reed and Jonathan Richman.
