Very good album

13/01/09

Robin Grey has a meditative, quiet quality that I really enjoy. I’ve been listening to I Love Leonard Cohen and Only the Missile this week, and enjoying them both immensely.

* “I Love Leonard Cohen” ponders changing shapes of individual tastes. He frames the song through the shifts in his listening habits, returning to the refrain: “My Weezer CDs, well they hardly get played/ My obsession with Ani DiFranco has ended/ My task is anything but certain these days/ I would probably tell you that I love Leonard Cohen.”
* “The Last Time I Saw David” similarly seems to ponder the way one’s understanding of religion shifts as one ages.
* The easygoing pace of the music is enjoyable, but not overwhelming. Good for sitting and listening. Not good for driving.

Good album

I love Leonard Cohen. We love Leonard Cohen. Life has no sense to it; or, I wonder is there, the alchemist, turning lead into gold. Beautiful stuff, hauntingly so, it touches me, both body and soul.

Songs that speak powerfully with a quiet voice

Robin Grey is an exceptional and pivotal talent. This album sits well with his other offerings and his work on Ruth Theodore's Worm Food and on the Blue Swerver album demonstrate the versatility and depth of musicianship.
I played Winter Blues on show 148 of the Suffolk'n'Cool podcast last night at www.suffolkandcool.com
More will follow.

Awesome

These songs compare favourably with any put out by the great English folk singers - Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Robyn Hitchcock and Davey Graham.

"I Love Leonard Cohen" and "The Winter Blues" are stand-outs.

A definite must-listen artist.
