ROBIN LANE has been on one incredible life journey, so far, and she's not even close to being done. Robin has quite an amazing bio and it's hard to even know where to start.
She is known to many from her late '70's punk/new wave band. ROBIN LANE AND THE CHARTBUSTERS. She grew up in a musical family in which her Dad was songwriter for Dean Martin.
This is Robin's eighth solo album and worth checking out. The musicians are: ROBIN LANE-Vocals, guitar; JOHN PFISTER-Bass, vocals; RUSSELL CHUDNOFSKY, MILTON REDER-Guitar; DANA BROWN; JOHN SANDS, BARRY LITT, KATIE HENNESSEY, ROBBIE PERKINS, TIM JACKSON-Drums and numerous other players.
This 11 song CD was Produced by Robin Lane and John Pfister and Mastered by Mark Alan. DIRT ROAD TO HEAVEN kicks off this CD with a Neil Young type of song with a sweet strumming guitar and her amazing vocals. She sings with great conviction throughout the song.
HARD LIFE is a cool up-tempo country song that has a great melody that you'll fall in love with. You'll be singing along with the chorus after it gets in your head, it's superb!
LAST CUTE MINUTE is about looking for a man with no extra baggage and being in good shape. I must admit, the lyrics are epic with a bit of country favor to it. You'll have to check it out for yourself.
HURRICANE WATCH is about sitting and watching a hurricane as it comes close to you wondering if it will carry you away and surviving all the pain it could bring. This song is quite a gem.
SUNSHINE BLUE SKIES has a sweet Byrd's type sounding guitar to this song which is really sweet to hear. The melody might ever sound familiar to you. This is truly a great song, to say the least. Definitely put this CD in your collection.
