Robinson what a talent, 9 May 2010

Heard Robinson by chance on Radio 2 on the long drive up from the south of England to Scotland, and fell in love with 'Always Talk to Strangers'. It has now been in the car CD for over a month and this remains a firm favourite, despite having to keep having conversations with my 8 year old about why it is not a 'bad influence on children'. I think it is topped by the sublime 'Englands Bleeding'. My 11 year old loves it too, except when her friends are in the car, (when we are badgered into listening to the banality that is Galaxy Radio so that she appears 'cool'. At least she now knows who 'Johnny Rotten' is and what anarchy is. Am buying 2 more copies for friends who appreciate quirky lyrics, fantastic musicianship and something that makes you think as well as smile (check out the 'best eggs in the world' lyric!)

Probably one of the best Singer/Songwriters emerging right now.Think Nick Drake meets John Martyn meets a little bit of Tom Waits and even Dylan ( in his best early days!),sparked with the addition and backing of the most delightfully bohemian sounding band!One listen to the lyrics and you'll see Robinson is a very rare talent indeed and a Unique talent at that.Buy, and you will definitely be surprised and delighted every time you listen!

This is such a great CD the more I listen to it the more I love it. Great lyrics and what a voice, I love the sincerity in his writing and so much talent to play so many of the instruments, can`t wait for more
