Avoiding any chatter of a sophomore slump Ric Robertson dropped an excellent and well rounded album with Carolina Child. There’s virtually zero chance to dislike this album. Easy & breezy throughout and automatically fills you with the same feels from head to toe. Often compared to the lyrical mastermind, John Prine and if you removed the voice track all together – you’d think Paul Simon just dropped an instrumental album. Easily worth 37 minutes of your time today.

“The 10-track album is an exercise in breezy folk, Americana creativity that catches easily on the first play through. It’s a stunning dip into pretension-free music that also slips in a little jazz and New Orleans swamp funk at times. But it’s the lyrics, with a sly nod to Prine’s genuine, often humorous take on life, where Robertson really shines”

“Carolina Child is nothing short of an opus, taking his wealth of musical proclivities – from the mountain music of his home state of North Carolina, all the way to the jazz and funk of his current homebase in New Orleans – and fueling it into a gonzo vision of Americana that is equally innovative as it is simply beautiful to hear”
