Description
Alan Prosser, Guitarist with the Oysterband:
Prosser is a polyglot stylist, he takes heed of much and creates a bag of tricks that sounds at once familiar yet new. And yes, it does come over as English, despite some of the 13 tracks being anchored in such disparate places as Canada, Scandinavia (my assumption that one), and Austria. In fact, throw in musicians digs, friendly kitchens and chummy firesides he has known, and this could be a `road' album. Mr. Prosser gives few hints he just plays.
It's a diverting selection that'll keep a grin of pure satisfaction on your face and a clear conscience about squeezing yet another fROOTS recommended album out of your current account. As his digits throw out different shapes and chase across the frets, finger - twisting bluesish runs on Canmore, Chunkily jigging Tanyardside (echoes of Brass Monkey), speedy riffery The Move, warm, medieval, courtly preciseness on William and Claire, reflective atmospherics in The Day is Ending. You wonder if there's anything he hasn't absorbed! His message; diversity is the creed ...

James Robinson:
As founder of Favored Nations, the legendary Steve Vai has built a thriving creative home for guitar legends dedicated to fostering the art of their axe, most recently adding James Robinson to its ever diversifying roster. With the release of James Robinson's stylistically expansive label debut Colours, Favored Nations shows a deep commitment to the future of the instrument.
One listen to the Bay Area native's virtuosity, emotionally compelling melodies and rhythmically eclectic grooves which range from Latin, Funk, Middle Eastern and straightforward jazz will no doubt inspire guitar fans the world over to echo Larry Carlton’s sentiments upon hearing Robinson’s music for the first time: "James is an extraordinary talent that deserves to be heard". Robinson, who counts Carlton as one of his boyhood guitar idols, met Vai through Carlton, and Vai was immediately hooked: "He's phenomenal!"
Robinson released two widely acclaimed independent CDs, his self-titled 1997 debut (which featured electric and steel string in addition to acoustic) and 2000's Tumbling Into The Sky.
In 2003, the year he originally released Colours independently, Robinson won San Francisco radio station KKSF's Bay Area Artist Contest. As a result, the album's opening track, flamenco flavored "Tales of Change," was featured on the KKSF CD Sampler for AIDS Relief, Volume 14 ...
