Robinson

Add Date: February 15 

Artist: Robinson 

Album: England's Bleeding 

Label: Palawan 

Genre: Folk, rock 

Comments: This is a fantastic folk album from the English singer/songwriter John Robinson. His songs remind me a lot of Teitur, or even Damien Rice. Robinson boasts a certain clarity in his voice and melodies that is especially refreshing. He sings of politics, mass marketing, social issues, and man-to-man conflict. The topics of his lyrics are as diverse as the various influences found in the musicianship throughout the album. This guy is a top-shelf songwriter. Start with 3, 2 and 5.

I believe it's Andy Robinson. John is a sibling.
