Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on March 05, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Tom Russell! May your day be filled with more joy than a cowboy finding his lost "Blue Wing," and may your celebrations echo louder than the chorus of "The Heart of a Working Man." You've given us countless timeless tunes, each one covered more times than grandma's favorite quilt.

From the soulful storytelling in "Black Pearl" to every heartfelt lyric you've penned, your music continues to inspire generations. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success and laughter as you've brought to fans worldwide. Keep strumming those strings—you're not getting older; you're just becoming classic vinyl!
