Search - Robin O'Herin :: Red, White and Blues

Robin's Debut Cd, Red, White and Blues is a mix of Delta-style blues and ballads, with originals as well as some classic blues and gospel. Recorded and engineered with the help of Robby Baier in his Soultube Substation Studio in Housatonic, MA, other local Berkshire musicians are featured such as Charlie Mead on harmonica, Terry Hall (of Arlo Guthrie's band) on drums and Darren Todd (on loan from Melodrome) on bass. The cd has a nice live feel.

It also highlights O'Herin's deft fingerpicking and slide-guitar work on numbers like Willie Moore's "Old Country Rock" and her committed vocals on "Abilene" and a few humorous, original tunes, including "Junkfood Junkie Blues" and "The Driving Song (Commuter Blues)."
