Transcendant.........so nice to hear the lushness of the lyrics and melody without a lush production. I am sure the ferryman would approve. Hats off Robyn
This is very hard to play. Robyn is guy who has been out there for years, playing solo a lot of the time. He understands, maybe, as he said, from his appreciation of "Visions of Johanna," how one guy can get up there with a wood box and six strings and an understanding of the heart, and make people get the shivers. Thanks for posting. And thanks Robyn.
Sorta neat to have taken note of how many covers from Roxy’s Avalon Robyn has been recorded covering. I’ve compiled them to this playlist if you wanna check ‘em out.
Big fan of Robyn's, hadn't heard this before, so thanks for posting. Agree with many of the comments, including the one re "earnest". He is minimised and marginalised by being funny, but many people miss the earnest in him. The saddest and most earnest songs often start with a joke, just to get rid of it!
thanks for reminding me that I saw him solo at Maxwells too... I won tix from WPRB, WRSU or FMU... late 1990. I had totally forgotten... setlist.fm/search?query=robyn+hitchcock+maxwells&year=1990
Roxy is great-Love it all even with the personnel changes over the years...But take Robyn's cover as a compliment. Covers shouldn't always try to be exactly like the original.
i just listened to a few songs for Robyn and i fell in love with his music because it's the most pure and honest music songs without any kind of faking That's what we are missing with our time amazing man i am going to listen more for him :D
