| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 5/5 - Debut album from a great country singer
Robin is one of those singers that never made it as a recording artist but, despite this, has made a good living via live performances and occasional recordings on independent labels, which have won her an international fan base, particularly in Scandinavia. Robin's live act includes a Tammy Wynette tribute. Although her voice is different from Tammy's, you can hear similarities on some tracks, particularly on some of the ballads such as To cut a long story short and Cross my broken heart.
This album was her first, although she had previously recorded a couple of singles (not included here). The music here is rooted in traditional country but has a contemporary edge, although my guess is that this album will mostly appeal to traditional country fans. The set begins with an up-tempo song (Right now is the right time), which is followed by a superb ballad (If we're not going anywhere). Next comes Burning blue, a bsong with a bluesy edge. And so the album continues, with plenty of different songs. Perhaps the best of an excellent set is I like a man to drive.
I've come across a lot of great country music on independent labels but Robin is certainly one of the best. |
