Embracing elements of such mavericks as Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Doug Sahm, John Prine, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen and Bruce Springsteen, Robison keeps it all real with a heartland/populist approach that blends his natural gifts as a storyteller with a genuine affection for high-steppin' honky-tonk and a rocker's instinct to rattle the cage. Produced by Lloyd Maines, the new record from this country rebel features "El Cerrito Place" and "New Year's Day."
