Country Love Songs Album

Robbie's debut CD was the surprise hit of '96, and served notice
that a) Country Music did NOT have to suck b) that he was a top-notch
songwriter and performer and c) things in the underground country scene
were never going to be the same. Truly the bar had been raised. A
classic.Let's let Robbie describe it:"13 original
country songs with an early 50's production aesthetic (hot vocals,
robust bass, live instrumental tracks) and arrangement, reviving
certain types of songs long abandoned by mainstream country music.
Likewise in retro spirit, these songs will frequently violate current
country songwriting trends which hold as taboo themes of negativism,
forceful expression, and points of view uncongenial to the prevailing
ideology of fatuous feelgoodism; they will instead reflect a modern
sensibility in their emotional graphicness, vigorous iconoclasm, and
sense of humor. In composition and presentation the music will honestly
reflect the heart and personality of its author/singer, and in its
fundamental sincerity will stand resolutely against the poisonous tides
of camp."SO THERE!! Co-produced by Steve Albini, and
features appearances by the Skeletons, and Tom Brumley (of the
Buckaroos), and drop-dead, now classic cool honky tonk gems like "Every Kinda Music But Country," "The Buck Starts Here," and the sing-a-long fave "She Took A Lot Of Pills (And Died)."(From Bloodshot Records)
