Charlie Robison (with Natalie Maines) : The Wedding Song [ purchase ] The Wedding Song is a duet, and it came out on a major label from their Nashville division. So you would expect a lush production with a wall of strings, and you would expect to hear a couple proclaiming their undying love for each other. What you get is evidence of why Charlie Robison probably should never have been on a major country label, despite the fact that the album made a respectable showing on the country charts. [...]

My decade list has been posted. The Bird List has been compiled. Now it's time to look back at this year's new releases and attempt to list my favorite albums of 2009. It's important to note that these are my favorite albums and not necessarily a critical review of the best of the year. There's a lot of stuff out there that I didn't hear this year, a lot of things I enjoyed but didn't earn favorite status, and a few critical darlings that just flat didn't do it [...]

Bob Harris recorded a short session with Charlie Robison earlier this year during the Americana awards in Nashville, the session aired on the 5th November - I was otherwise engaged that evening getting soaked to the skin whilst simultaneously enjoying hot dogs and beer - I caught up with the show on iPlayer after I'd dried out and was very pleased I did. Robison performed two live session tracks and had a chat with Bob about the album, the divorce and Austin versus San Antoine, his [...]

2004, c'était l'époque du bonheur familial, Charlie Robison signait l'impeccable Good Times. 5 ans plus tard, Charlie a divorcé d'Emily (des Dixie Chicks) et son nouvel album aurait pu s'appeler Bad Times. Mais Robison a préféré le baptiser Beautiful Day, peut-être parce qu'il aborde aussi bien les traumastimes de la séparation que le nouveau départ qu'elle représente.On passe ainsi de la
Turns out this post got deleted a while back. I got no notification from blogger... so I didn't know it was missing. The Euro blog-police seem to be out in full force lately. Since I know I was granted the full permission of Dualtone Records to post mp3s from this album, I am putting this up as a repost. I do this because I really like the album and want people who are interested in it to be able [...]

With all due apologies to Bruce... Charlie has always been my favorite Robison brother. Bruce Robison has had more commercial success than his brother as the writer of such hits as Tim McGraw's "Angry All the Time," the Dixie Chicks' "Traveling Soldier," and George Strait's "Wrapped" among others. He's also had a great deal of success writing for, and performing with, his wife Kelly Willis (her version of "Wrapped" puts Strait's to shame), and has released several solo albums as well. For me though, I've just always enjoyed Charlie Robison's work a little more. [...]

i've just about finished going through the hundreds of pictures taken while in Costa Rica. If you like a laid-back place with lots to do, and some of the most amazing scenery - get your ass to Costa Rica. The locals are super-friendly, everyone accepts the American dollar, cabs and vans are cheap and plentiful, and - according to our driver, César - every town, no matter how small, has at least one bar, and one soccer field. They got their priorities lined up down there. So to show off my newfound hobby of photography [...]

We're Baaaacccckkk... The Lucero Message Board has made a triumphant return and the regular posters are beginning to wander back in. By next month everything will be back to normal. The May compilation was made while the message board was still down. This time around it included folks from the Drag the River message board as well. Unfortunately, I did not get in on the submissions for the May comp so I'm like you...a mere listener. One fella that has really stood out to me is Roger Alan Wade. He has two tracks from [...]
