Album Notes

ABOUT ROBBIN THOMPSON

Robbin Thompson has a unique claim to history. He was one of the only performers to ever actually sing in front of Bruce Springsteen. That was in the early '70's when he was lead singer in an early Springsteen group called Steel Mill.

Thompson's career and noteworthiness, however, extend far beyond those roots. In the years since, he has released 8 albums, won THE AMERICAN SONG FESTIVAL twice, written songs with EAGLES bassist Timothy B.Schmit, and established himself as a gifted performer, songwriter, and studio vocalist. He is also an Equity actor.

Currently, Robbin is the Vice President and co-founder of IN YOUR EAR MUSIC AND RECORDING SERVICES in Richmond, Virginia. A company that writes and produces music for commercials and films.

ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE BLUES includes songs with backing vocals by TIMOTHY B.SCHMIT OF THE EAGLES,performances by DAVE MATTHEWS BAND keyboardist BUTCH TAYLOR and a song called ORANGE MOON that was recorded in SHANGHAI CHINA featuring traditional chinese instruments.

Also included is a previously unreleased song by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN called TRAIN SONG.

I am a blues/jazz fan and a huge Robbin Thompson fan...so how could I find one dang thing wrong with this one. The blues and Robbin's voice and style go together extremely well. And you cannot rate a RT CD without mentioning the explemary songwriting - awesome stuf! We need some song books Robbin!

Excellent

Used this CD and the other three for our 4th of July party. Music playing on the front and back porches. Everybody including the passers-by really enjoyed. Actually one guy stopped and asked about the artist. Turned him on to Robbin Thompson and CD BABY. Also had folks from Roanoke there. Great memories of fun at the Coffee Pot.
