Bob\'s stellar Chicago-blues based guitar work coupled with vocals that range from whiskey ravaged bluesman to almost child-like make the wide ranging melodies and lyrics come alive. This music reminds me that there was a time when bands strove to sound unique, rather than pre-packaged, formulated crap. The songs are powerful and touching, raucous and tender, joyful and moody. Bob delivers at every level on every song from the power-blues-rock \"Baby\'s Like A Train\" and ending with - are those bagpipes on \"So Many Roads\"? Anyway, this is one special CD and it deserves its own category - ROCKABLUESIC!

I met Robert in the 70\'s, and loved his music. The level of his talent then was just remarkable. Today, he has raised the bar to a level of talent nothing less than professional and inspired. This might sound weird, but every time I listen to it I hear something new. Really love it. AND...I like every song on it! Not like most CD\'s with one or two good songs. Great work...keep growing.

Without a doubt, this is unquestionably the best music purchase I\'ve made all year. What a comeback! What a musician! What an album! I don\'t know where to begin. This CD grabbed me right from the start and never let go. It\'s not often that an album comes along that I like all the way through. Most times I\'ve got to give it a few spins and let it grow on me. This one sprouted thick, tangled roots and dug in deep immediately. Roadman\'s Hammer has been in my CD player since I received it 3 weeks ago. I haven\'t listened to any other music for three weeks, I kid you not. The man\'s voice belies his age. He sounds a full 30 years younger than he is. His instrumental prowess is right up there with the biggest names in the business (he plays nearly every instrument himself). The words he\'s written are sung with passion, power and finesse. His vocals are by turns as gritty and dark as coal smoke, powerful enough to drive a railroad spike and as beautiful and soothing as a far away train whistle. Robert\'s voice encompasses a full range of emotion and feeling that only comes from years of traveling life\'s tracks, taking note of the thing\'s he\'s seen and experienced along the way, writing about it and singing it like it just happened, still fresh and clear in his mind. A good album is like a good book: it should paint a vivid picture in the mind of the listener, and for me, it does exactly that. I can\'t wait for the next album. I\'ll be the first one at the ticket window for The Roadman\'s next ride.

Way to go Robert, I'm listening to it as I write and It is one awesome cd, I stumbled apon Robert while I was looking for sheet music of all things, listened to the sampler and got out my credit card, It arrived a week later and I've been a happy little vegimite ever since. (I clearly come from Aus) I'll be back for more.
