Guardian Praises Arthur Russell

Today's Guardian features an editorial in praise of composer and musician Arthur Russell. They single out TIm Lawrence's biography of Russell, Hold On to Your Dreams, as a major reason for the resurgence of interest in Russell's music. The editorial suggests that the Internet has played a role in Russell's new popularity. It has "broken down the musical boundaries he loved experimenting with, as well as old modes of distribution, exposing a wider, younger, audience to his work."
