5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 9 Dec 2008
By Greywolf (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Island (Audio CD)
Robin Williamson has been making great music since ... well, forever it seems ... starting with the Incredible String Band in the 60s and 70s, through his sojourn in California with the Merry Band, and reams of solo stuff and collaborations since. For my money, 'Island of the Strong Door' is one of the best things he's ever done. That means I rate it as one of the best things anyone's ever done, because Robin is my all-time favourite musician and songwriter.
The writing, playing and singing throughout this album are uniformly sublime. From the lovely opener, 'Love Letter to My Wife, Bina,' through the political edginess of 'Billy and the Scrapper,' the magical wonder of 'In the Four Quarters of the World,' to the entrancing title track, everything comes together. Robin's playing, whether on guitar, harp or any of several other instruments, is as close to perfection as human hands can get. His voice has seldom sounded richer in tone or more affecting. The tunes are accessible, the songwriting effortlessly attains the level of pure poetry.
If you don't know Robin's work, this would be an ideal starting point.
