Back To Easy Street Album Review…Ĭonsidering the songs that make up the album Easy Street were done around 3 decades ago now. John Carey – Fiddle – Button Melodeon – Whistle. Karl Robins – Vocals & Harmonies – Guitars. Remastered in July 2017 by Gary Hetherington. Recorded in the 80’s on an analogue reel to reel system by John Carey. It’s another really excellent album.Īll songs written by Karl Robins. That album I did buy from CD Baby I think and was released back in 2014. Then he released Spirit of Beblow: Impressions of Holy Island to which he did with a band he put together and they called themselves Dancing with Ghosts named after one of Karl’s earlier songs he wrote and put on the album. To be honest I am not sure if he made an official release of the album that contained one of his many classic songs entitled Solomon’s Song. One of his albums I do have that he sent me about 5 years ago now was a collection of the songs he was working from between 20. Over the years Karl has written many songs and made at least another couple of albums somewhere down the line. He liked it and so this is now the album cover.

A picture from the Charlie Chaplin film Easy Street and Karl’s original picture plus I grabbed one of John too and fused them all together. So I decided to quickly knock up a front cover for it by simply focusing on the albums title. The first thing I noticed was that Karl had just stuck a picture of himself on there and it never even had the title of the album on the front either. But having given the album a couple of spins as it is, I enjoyed it that much I decided to leave it as a single album. I was even going to make it into a double myself when I downloaded it, simply because I prefer albums over the old time slot. For me personally this is more or less a double albums worth of material you are getting here in comparison to the time slot albums had back in the 70’s.

The album consists of 16 tracks and has a lengthy playing time of 67 minutes 50 seconds and is available as a digital download only on Bandcamp for the price of a pint of beer at £3 or more. This new release of the album though has been digitally remastered by his old friend Gary Hetherington and I have to say he’s done a pure quality job of it as well.
Though this is not exactly a collection of new songs Karl wrote and the album was originally done back in the 80’s and put out on a Cassette release to which Karl used to sell at the many local gigs he played back then.
The album Easy Street by Karl Robins and John Carey was released just the other day on the 28th August 2017. Why this guy is unsigned in all honesty amazes me because in reality he should of been snapped up years ago. In many ways Karl is just like the fine songwriter Ralph McTell and in all honesty is in every way just as good as him. He is without a doubt an extremely talented musician who can not only make an acoustic guitar shine and ring out, but he comes with such a great voice and can also use it to construct harmonies superbly as well.Įverything about this man’s quality song writing and his approach to it as always spoke to me highly and appealed to my taste. This fine man from Leeds in England has been playing guitar and writing songs for donkeys years now. Another really great unsigned artist and another superb songwriter of folk songs I had the privilege to stumble upon many moons ago on Soundcloud is none other than Karl Robins.
