Robison,Bruce / Back Porch Band Bruce Robison & The Back Porch Band CD

Bruce Robison & The Back Porch Band is a "real" nine-track album made up of good-time, light hearted romps ("Rock n' Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin' Man") and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads ("Long Time Coming"; "Still Doin' Time"). Even The Who's "Squeezebox" - which Robison calls a "a great country song by some English dudes" fits perfectly in the mix. Long-time friend, Jack Ingram, appears with Robison on "Paid My Dues," (written by Jason Eady and Micky Braun of Micky and the Motorcars) for a rowdy honky-tonker version akin to what last call at a Jerry Jeff Walker show might have been like in the late 70's. Robison marvels, "The song that I cut with Jack, there's not even one overdub on it. That sounds like a simple thing, but I've never done that in my entire career, where we don't even go in and mix anything."
