ROBIN AULD "fingers in my pocket" cd, 2011
a gift from a member of MD(sorry, not mentioning your name incase you didnt want me to)....
i put the album in Alternative because it has elements of blues/folk/jazz and slight reggae sounds but doesnt seem to fit totally in any of those...
according to wiki his major influences were Santana,Ry Cooder and Neil Young which is in line with all the styles in his music...
Robin is a South African artist who has released some twenty albums in his career...
like i said,lots of styles combined in the tracks here...
fantastic vocals...slightly rough yet smooth, and powerful yet mellow at the same time...
there is also a slight feel of Aussie band Bondi Cigars in his sound,yet,neither artist have probably heard of the other one...
allup a fantastic album from any artist at the thirty year mark of his career...
im looking foreward to delving deeper into his career at some point.
shame theres little on youtube for this guy,and especially from this album, but i'll post links to all the songs i can...
and ive just thought about what these songs sound like to me....the Stills-Young Band "long may you run" album
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
