Free Music Review: Rich Robinson branches out
Hit: 5 Stars
I am understandably weary of solo albums by people who were in important bands. Let's face it, artists do often peak early in their careers, or only make the music you really want to hear as a result of the chemistry they had in their seminal bands. That's why I was really refreshed that this album stands on its own, as an album, period, whether or not it's creator was in The Black Crowes, one of my favorite bands of all time.
"Paper" is a catchy, heavy psychedelic rock album. It's got hooks, crunch, lush arrangements and of course, awesome guitar work. The songs vary from mid and up tempo rockers to slower, more pensive, dirge-like songs. "Paper" shows a huge amount of range and songwriting skill. I think that besides Crowes fans, fans of Dave Matthews, O.A.R. or Ben Harper should check this out; some of the stuff on here reminds me more of a jam band than it does southern rock, although there's some of that too. Overall I think this is a well-done and fun to listen to album that's worth your time

Rich Robinson is known as the controlling, yet excellent guitarist of the Black Crowes. When the Black Crowes split, his brother, Chris, started a little solo project called New Earth Mud. Two albums after Chris, Rich releases "Paper" on his fans, and I couldn't be happier. With both solo projects now in effect, it is very easy to see where the Black Crowes got their sound from...a little of both brothers. Where as Chris' albums and live shows are slightly more experimental, even psychedelic if you will; Rich's album is just rock n' roll. He creates monster riffs and knows the limited exent of his voice. His vocals are weak in comparison to other singers (such as Chris Robinson, again) but he never strains it. He knows his limit, so it never sounds bad. This album shows Rich's knowlegde of music as well, playing every instrument except for drums and a few stringed instruments. A very solid effort by one of rock's best musicians. Check out his own "Live at the Knitting Factory" available from Dynasonic as well.Free Music Review: The SOUND!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the signature Sound the Black Crowes made themselves famous with back in the early nineties. It's what was missing from the various solo efforts of members of the BC since the hiatus in 2001. Although some of those efforts were outstanding Rich brings it front and center again with this solo Rich Robinson work. Now before you think its just rehashed BC material, it's not. Rich has written and is performing a ongoing saga of updated and modern writing and playing that is a natural progression of his earlier work. And wait! He sings!. With an honesty and tone that fits these songs to a T. With Rich's well known wall of sound and some of the best use of riffs in rock and roll, this CD will make you a fan, if you wasn't already. Like a lot of BC fans we were waiting for this solo cd from Rich and were not disappointed with quality. Its time to be come aquainted with the writer of the music that made the 90's so great. Let me introduce you, This is Rich Robinson, fantastic writer of music, guitar player, the riff master and now singer. Rich Robinson....the Solo artist.Bravo
