A collection of demos, home recordings and folk songs.

Audika Records has announced Iowa Dream, a new posthumous compilation of unreleased songs from Arthur Russell.

The record features several demos recorded by Russell for Mercury Records and Columbia Records in the ’70s, as well as some early recordings and lost folk songs.

The album also features a wide selection of collaborators, including Ernie Brooks, Rhys Chatham, Henry Flynt, Jon Gibson, Peter Gordon, Steven Hall, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Saltzman, and David Van Tieghem.
