Americana Revolution Review #005: Charlie Robison

Charlie-robison-beautiful-day Charlie Robison is all the way back. It has been 5 years since there has been an album from him, and Beautiful Day finds him in great form. Some are calling this his divorce album, but for me it's all about rebirth. Cogent lyrics, incredible production, and feel good vibe; forgive me for this, but here goes my favorite tracks...I might just recommend them all...well almost!

Beautiful Day - sweet pop, tasty production

Yellow Blues - recalls a folk rock swagger

Down Again - confessional with Beatlesque flourishes

Nothin' Better To Do - a new anthem, I can see the whole audience singing along with beer hoisted

Feelin' Good - ya got to remember it doesn't take more than intent to be happy

Middle Of The Night - eureka, it's where you find yourself

She's So Fine - this one rocks

Racing In The Streets - Soulful stuff, perfect choice of tunes to cover
