Once again you have made my day, and blown me away; Saving grace, last time I saw David. . . well, the last time I saw David; Adam and EvE. remember she gave him the apple-- it was up him what he did with it;doomed to be free, we must tread the path, choice? To keep on keeping on, transforming lead into gold. Only in the fiercest fame is the doss drawn from the gold. Somewhere, somewhere. will find a home. Somewhere, somehow, exiles we walked this twisted street. Somewhere, some how? Gold is turned to lead to to gold; we are put we leave behind; this place is not our home; we all have ears patched with Autumn leaves, but never have I heard it expressed so beautifully. In the particular is the universal catch your experience, flitting as it is, but do so then you have gold. Robin Grey has touch the abyses. and come back againt to tells all what is in stall for all of us. This guy has suffered and turned all that shit into the beautiful shinning gold; 24 caret, pure, beautiful, terrifying, yet known to be true. It is not ieaching the destination that is so important but the journey. We all suffer, but some of us transform it into something else - art. This man is an artist; wonderful stuff.

I feel like complimenting on you. This is an amazing piece of art. Your voice sounds dark and warm, the music perfectly fits in with it. I'm speechless, absolute quality work. Thank you.

Robin Grey's album is so enchanting that I had to write a barely literate review of it at the net's most amateurish free music blog, Catching The Waves.

Failing that, just ignore me and listen to this beautiful album.

Robert Grey, knows how to make great,catchy, interesting, passionate, moving, fun, emotional, heartfelt music. And has a brilliant voice to suit these profound tracks in general. This is one album you will love and want to keep forever. Never a dull moment from star to end. And great music to match.

No es Renbourn pero puede oirse

Folk inglés demasiado tradicional y previsible, le falta algo para ser un producto vendible, ir más allá de la simple verbena pueblerina, le hace falta algo para ser universal.Las baladas son mejores pero se situan más allá de lo tradicional y mas cerca de lo pop.

Exceptional English Folk

27/10/08

This is an album that lovers of the English singer-songwriting have been waiting for. Robin Grey joins the long line of artists spanning from Bert Jansch to Richard Thompson who become part of the fabric of traadition.

His lyrics are simple but profound, his tunes are catchy but technically brilliant. His voice will remind you of - well, Nick Drake? Ralph McTell?

Try "The Last Time I Saw David" for a wry, bitter take on religion. Listen to "The Finchley Waltz" for a perfectly-observed slice of life.

I have not seen Robin Grey live, but there is an intimacy about this recording that makes me think that he would give a concert to remember.

Download this album - you will not regret it!
