Compiled from over eight hours of material, Love Is Overtaking Me reaches back further to Russell’s first compositions from the early ‘70s, the most rare and, at the same time, arguably the most accessible part, comprising 21 demos and home recordings of unreleased pop, folk, and country songs selected by Audika’s Steve Knutson, Ernie Brooks, and Russell’s companion, Tom Lee. A number of the songs here feature prominently in the film Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell.
