Copper works!,
By
This review is from: The Old Fangled Tone (Audio CD)
Robin Williamson and a brass section ...? Is this going to work? The answer is a resounding yes. The (live) combination of the man himself with the usual guitar & harp and the brass band works wonderfully well! There are no Williamson songs on display, but there are some trad gems that I didn't know of - and that's almost as good as a (new) Williamson tune.
There's the familiar "Black is the colour" of course, which he dedicates to his wife Bina, and the grim & beautiful "South Coast". The humorous American tunes I find less engaging, but there's a pleasing sense of unity here. This live album will be of interest to those who like his explorations into the "trad" world, and I'm sure they'll be pleasantly surprised by the unusual accompaniment.

Copper works !,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Old Fangled Tone (Audio CD)
Robin had already announced this brass project, and I must admit that I was a bit wary. Well, I shouldn't have been. The combination of the man himself with the usual guitar & harp and the brass band works wonderfully well ! There's no material of Robin himself, but there are some gems that I didn't know of - and that's almost as good as a new Williamson tune. There's the familiar "Black is the colour" of course, which he dedicates to his wife Bina, and the grim & beautiful "South Coast". The less emotional and "funnier" American tunes in this collection seem to be the least interesting - the emotional tunes are rendered more powerfully, I think. This live album will be of interest to those who like his explorations into the "trad" world, and I'm sure they'll be pleasantly surprised by the unusual accompaniment.

A True Bard,
By GuitarDave - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Old Fangled Tone (Audio CD)
If you have ever seen Robin perform you already know what a fine entertainer he is. The combination of Robin's musical ability with the accompaniment of a brass section is wonderful. Robin's musical prowess is enhanced by the added musicians. His voice is aged from years of performing but that is what one should expect from a traveling Minstrel. He brings his emotion and his sense of humor to everything he does. This is a welcome addition to my CD collection.Robin's autograph is an added bonus to my copy because I go to see him at every opportunity. |
