Label: Last Call Records
Release Date: 1998
Format: MP3 @ 320 K
Born in Austin in 1948 Calvin literally spent his first years on the counter of the "SHO Nuff cafe" where his father "Red" was the short order cook and his mother Daisy waited tables. Calvin says his first real memories are of the frame house in the dirt street that dead ended into the back of Pistol Pete`s wrecking yard."We knew we were on the wrong side of the tracks" says Calvin,"but I loved the freedom of it. I was building hot rods and running around Texas while other kids were still riding bicycles."
The sixth of nine children Calvin picked up the guitar at the age of twelve. By thirteen he was playing rhythm guitar in the band "Cavemen", winning the position from what he calls "an old rock veteran"of sixteen. He began to run above the law for what he calls unimportant stuff. After being sent to a juvenile home & shortly thereafter to a state prison, he began his southwestern adventures on the seat of a Harley.
He began crossing the Rio Grande at Piedras Negras and El Paso to find adventure, write and sing, and to buy and sell the fiery dreams and visions of this area of the west that remains to this day empty and rough. This part of Texas known as "The Valley" is the beginning of the truly forsaken desolate desert that stretches west to Death Valley and Baja California.
Calvin spent the early 80`s in & out of south Texas back and forth across "The Valley", living the life of a vagabond in this smuggling ground. Landing in prison in Nuevo Laredo Old Mexico in the winter of '85 he found himself sleeping on a concrete mattress in the coldest winter that desolate area has ever seen. Following his return to Austin, Calvin upgraded his sleeping quarters to the dirt space under a house on Patterson Avenue in Old Clarkesville as he tried to convince the Austin Texas music industry to listen to his material.
Calvin also found himself hanging out in several of the alcohol and drug laced writer enclaves of the Hill Country just outside the city. The places that had provided hideouts to outlaws throughout western history, also provided renegade songwriters such as Townes van Zandt, Jimmy Dale Gilmour, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Willis Alan Ramsey, Jerry Jeff Walker and Michael Murphy with a creative working environment.
Russell died on April 3, 2011 in Garfield, Texas of Liver cancer at the age of 62
