Releasing your 28th solo album just as you turn 80 is quite an impressive feat, and that does not include his many collaborations, live albums, or the Procul Harum records. This album is a master class in tone, feel, and playing what is required. To many modern guitar players, playing a squillion notes up and down the fretboard as an entry into the guitar olympics makes them a player, but it does not. Robin has always been about playing what is required with the maximum feel and groove, plus he has a tone to die for that has inspired a lot of his contemporaries. Steve Stevens and Paul Gilbert to name two.

This time, Robin has gone with Richard Watts on vocals, who has a lovely warm tone to his voice in the great Jimmy Dewar footprint. The only song that doesn’t feature Watts is Tangled Love, which features Jess Hayes instead, and this is my favourite song. A beautiful song with a great groove and a very soulful vibe.

I love this album and it’s been on repeat play since its arrival, I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve said it before, Robin is in a late career golden period and long may it continue.

10/10 from The Grooveman.
