Great roots-rock feel, intelligent lyrics, great hooks, and musicianship.

Robert, in this second recording,continues with a great roots-rock feeling, and then some. The songs are real, lyrically rich, with great tunes and musicianship. I have found these songs have begun to imbed themselves in my brain; I wake up with the hooks running in my head - a different song each morning. The song themes are great as well, grit here, mature relationship there, and all with wonderful imagery. I can smell the Junkman, understand the need to move from a "old friend" for the needs of child, appreciate the gift of your one love. I also hear pieces of many producers and writers that I love sprinkled in- John Jennings, Rodney Crowell, Lou Reed, Gary Louris - but they are only suggested; the album is unmistakably RBW. Great work!

Fine songwriting, arrangements that are both clever and memorable will leave the listener waiting for the next concert notice to fly up on the e-mail!
Vocal harmonies are lovely and varied. WHO IS THE GENIUS DORRAINE SCOFIELD??? I want her record.
Robert's CD should be in every music lovers' collection. There aren't nearly enough fans.
Rock on, Robert

Lazyeye a a feast for the ears and the intellect
author: Harry Musselwhite
Robert Burke Warren possesses one of those authentic southern voices that haunts a listener well after the last track of his current cd, "Lazyeye", is finished. Warren's southern cred is authentic, and one has no doubt that his musical spirit stretches from Peachtree Street to the Alabama State Line.
"Lazyeye" features songs drenched in the tradition of the southern balladeer, and Warren's arrangements are fleshed out with a bevy of outstanding instrumentalists and formidable backup singers (Roseanne Cash and Kate Pierson).
Tracks like the sensuous "You Look Good in The Rain" remain with the listener, and Robert Burke Warren's Elvis on Velvet vocalism on all the tracks make for a superior listening experience - put this cd on, go out on the porch, and watch the sun go down: "Lazyeye" is a winner.
