Americana Revolution Review #005: Charlie Robison
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
