OTHER FOLK

Robert's third solo album is essentially an album of covers plus three original songs.

It was recorded totally live in an energetic and inspired four day session at The Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire.

Featuring songs written by such luminaries as Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Bob Dylan and Marc Solon it was Robert's homage to the songs and writers which had inspired him.

Players included long time associate Brian Bethell, drummer extraordinaire Tansay Omar and, for the first time since the split, ex Blow Monkeys bassist Mick Anker (he of the sideburns and bowler hat).

Pre-empting the current wave of interest in such writers as Neil, Hardin and Nick Drake, Robert created an organic mixture - the high of which was the spontaneous song The Fen Tiger. which was to give clues to his next move - the home spun and mysterious Flatlands.
