Details:
Rick Robbins was born in 1946. At age eight Rick took violin lessons and later took up the Cornet. In 1962 Rick went to the Stockbridge School in Interlaken Ma. There he had his first taste of folk music and bought his first guitar after listening to a Jack Elliott record. " We were listening to Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Sonny Terry, Brownie Mcghee, Cisco Houston and Jack Elliott". Alice and Ray Brock turned Rick on to who Woody Guthrie was. In 1965 Rick and Arlo Guthrie hit the road looking for Woody & Cisco''s footprints. " We found some footprints, and heard a lot of stories, but best of all we were out there playing the songs that Woody and Cisco and all those guys like Leadbelly left behind. These songs are real and worth handing down". Rick was on the road with a guitar up until 1978 when he settled down to build houses and learn architectural design. " I stopped touring the country, but I never stopped picking and singing , the music was always there". One day in 1995 Rick was trading his construction skills on a music studio for renowned sound engineer, Ron Bach,in exchange for some recording time to preserve a few treasured folk songs for his family when award- winning blues woman, Rory Block, happened to be listening in and loved what she heard. She added a few vocals of her own and urged Rick to record a whole album. Making it all happen took over two years, and in 97'' Rick was back into the music with the release of his first CD "Walkin'' Down The Line". The album is produced by Rory Block, and features guest appearances by Arlo Guthrie, Ramblin'' Jack Elliott, John Sebastian, Eric Weissberg, Larry Campbell and Rory Block.
In 2001 Rick released his second album, Rick Robbins with Rory Block "Don''t Deny My Name" produced again by Rory with guest appearances by Garth Hudson (The Band) John Sebastian ( The Lovin'' Spoonful ) Larry Campbell ( Bob Dylan''s "Never Ending Tour Band" ) and Steve Ide ( Arlo Guthrie''s "Shenandoah" lead guitar player).
From some reviews:
"Don''t Deny My Name" Rick Robbins with Rory Block All of these songs are time-tested classics that Robbins delivers with just the right combination of song-familiarity and interpertive freshness ........ Sing Out ! .......... March 2002
"Don''t Deny My Name" Robbins needn''t deny his own name on this effort, as good as any traditional folk-style album that has come out in years. Seth Rogovoy: The Berkshire Eagle 12/8/01
"Don''t Deny My Name" Rick Robbins with Rory Block...... Rick is good at what he does...you might also think of Dave Alvin or Tom Russell. *Don''t Deny My Name* sports an overwhelming feel of cowboys old and new......... Judith Gennett : KPSU......... Green Man review
