Well, imagine my pleasure on receiving the June-July issue of
The
Old-Time Herald and finding this review of my CD,
Sings Songs for
the Masses, by Pete Peterson:
"When you live far away from
most other musicians, say on Crete, you
will probably develop your own styles and write your own songs after
wearing out all the recordings you brought with you. On this album, the
artist composed about half the songs and tunes; the rest are
traditional. His voice is distinctive, sounding like an old blues
singer, filtered through a rock musician such as Eddie Vedder. The
banjo playing is solid clawhammer with a light, sure touch. Not
traditional old-time music as I know it, but eclectic and distinctive."
You can get the CD from
www.hunterrobertson.com, or
from
CD Baby or
County
Sales (their catalog number is HUNTER-2008), or, you can
download it from
iTunes.

My Instruments:
Flathead Gibson (my father got an old pot years ago and built a neck for it. It has no resonator), an S.S. Stewart and a Maya Masterclone turned into a thumpy gutbucket. A couple of homemade instruments: a fretless longneck with a Profitt-like head strung with gut, a fretless Danish cookie tin banjo. I just got a plastic Harmony. For what it cost and what it's made of, it's astonishingly good.
